Just as my-two-cents comment, I would like to say that I too dislike the use of {sei ... se'u} for split quoting. As it stands right now, there isn't really any other option, although I think I like the idea of FAlu for that purpose, as gleki spoke of earlier.
I'll wait until tsani replies. I'm not a legislative power in Lojbanistan.
Haha, I'm glad to see people actually thinking that I have some voice around here. Regardless, I don't really, given the dictatorial nature of Lojbanistan.
To return to the main question, using sei to split quotes has some inherent ambiguity; using sa'a merely diminishes it, I think. That being said, I don't like the idea of split quotes at all. they seem unlojbanic, especially considering that the resulting sentence is not a bridi. It's just a free-floating sumti between two {.i}. I don't have any objections to using FAlu, but I think that it's stylistically poor.
