I'm wondering how closely tied people are to the idea that, if a hypothetical thing happened where Lojban got, say, tone, it should stick with ASCII-only characters? I realize there was a good reason for this in the past, but I have trouble seeing a reasoning for it now. Just wondering how people feel about that now that Unicode has become the standard? ASCII is synonymous with "old-fashioned computing" to me, so just curious.

(I think there are advantages both staying with ASCII or going by Unicode, and am not advocating for a change or anything; just curious what people think.)
