If they are talking is Lojban, probably not. If they are talking in
English, especially with you involved, some will see the discussion as
"xorlo mod 2" and then people will be asking Robin on IRC "Are you using
xorlo mod 2 or xorlo mod 1?".
That was why, ages back, I had no trouble with And Rosta setting up
jboske as a list for such discussions as people talking about how Lojban
could be more logical than it is, and about improvements appropriate for
LoCCan3.
Experimental cmavo are kinda the border ground between the two. It
doesn't necessarily harm the existing language to propose a new cmavo,
put THAT is where the "let usage decide" is supposed to come in. If
people are unwilling to start using an experimental cmavo without it
being prescribed, it probably isn't necessary, or at least not
appreciated. And it likely won't be appreciated with people seeing it
in use and contrasted with the language without. Even then, the people
who need to see it as an "improvement" will be those who actually use
the language, which is why discussing it in Lojban is a strong plus.
