Herein is the crux.  What is Lojban?  It is surely not the language off
CLL or much like it;

Surely not.

it is not that modified by xorlo (any of the dozen
or so xorlos, not counting those by xorxes himself).

xorlo is but a tiny fraction of what sets apart CLL-Lojban from
Now-Lojban.

Anyone who uses something other that CLL-Lojban plus xorlo is not using
the standard language.  I, for one, probably won't understand them,
because I have explicitly chosen NOT to learn experimental/proposed
changes.  I suspect that a lot of others are like me.

A good example is the evolution of {ka}. Nowadays, most proficient speakers would not consider {lo ka ta pelxu} a well-formed expression, even though the CLL accepts it.

There are many more such cases. It would be naive to assume that everyone is still speaking CLL-Lojban.
