For the record I was just speaking very casually because I'm among
seemingly intelligent friends who I'd expect to easily understand this
intuitive and simple cmavo given some basic examples.

Also, I'm not trying to "justify" anything, any of you can use or
approve of "da'oi" or not as you wish.  I do think you'll need to
understand it in order to understand what people say in Lojban going
forward, though, because I think it's extremely necessary and useful
and so I'd expect it to be increasingly common, especially now that
we've had this public discussion of it.

Oh, and it's not a "new" usage either, BTW, it just hadn't yet escaped
into mailing-list-ese from IRC-ese. :)  I guess according to its
jbovlaste page it's been around for a year now:
