Sometimes English "or" is used in the sense of a.k.a., but
I don't think Lojban ".a" works here. We don't want to say
that the page is either about Lojban or about the Logical
Language or about both. If you are going to use a logical
connective ".e" would be better, at least you don't leave
open the confusing possibility that it is about one and
not about the other. But what we want to say is that both
names/descriptions have the same referent, and this is not
what logical connectors do.

On the other hand, I agree that "no'u" is probably better
than "po'u". With "po'u" we would be singling out Lojban
the logical language from other Lojbans, maybe Lojban the
cat, and that is not really the intent in this case.

On the third hand, someone once said that describing Lojban
as *the* logical language was as objectionable as
Esperantists calling Esperanto "la internacia",
the international (language). Personally I don't have
a problem with either description.
