That's fine. One thing doesn't exclude the other.

A couple of problems that I see with the ISO-codes idea is that the
codes include h, q, w, and that many letter combinations will not be
valid in Lojban phonotactics. Converting h -> x, q -> k, w -> v or u
would probably create many duplicate codes, and I'm not sure how to
deal with the phonotactics issue.
