Re: [lojban] footnotes, etc?

So to make sure I am correctly understanding what looks like the consensus here, I'm going to attempt to restate it more succinctly. Please correct me if I am wrong.

1) Typesetting, and for that matter orthography altogether, are separate from grammar. For example, in English, bullet points and numbered lists (like this one) are not a question of grammar.

2) Further, the term "audio-visual isomorphism" is misleading. Regardless of what we decide about whether, or rather, in what way it is correct, it is at the very least misleading.

My opinion about point 2: I think it could make a wonderful and awesomely mathy discussion to iron out exactly how the term does or does not apply. But the term is misleading and confusing and probably not a discussion the average beginner should be thrown into without warning. Perhaps using it as one of the "selling-points" might therefore be unwise?
