Hm. Well, maybe it should be the other way, then?

I don't like that idea. It seems like that is precisely what Lojban is
trying to avoid. Isn't Lojban supposed to be "completely regular and
without exception"?
Either way, I do not at all like the idea of leaving it up to context.
It needs to be one or the other. Having both be {la} is more
consistent, having selbri imply {le} makes more sense.
