I vote against redefining it. For me

e'i = sei bilga
ei = sei te javni
e'o = sei cpedu

and so on.

if u redefine e'i as command then we lose {sei bilga} meaning. If you
use .ei for that then we lose {sei te javni} meaning.

http://www.lojban.org/tiki/BPFK+Section%3A+Irrealis+Attitudinals has the
following text:

"selpa'i uses {.ei} as "should" and {.e'i} as "must" (as in {.e'i mi'o
denpa .i lo sorpeka pu'o zvati}), I (camgusmis) think that's pretty
good. The {.e'e} here is obviously out of the question, and I think
keeping something like "must" is worth it, too, and closer to what we have."
ie .i mi pu cusku la'e di'u .i ku'i pe'i lo cnino smuni be zo .e'i ku ji'a plixau
ni'o ta'o mi na sai tugni lo du'u la'e zo .e'e na ka'e se junri .i pe'i prane smuni zo .e'e .i mi nelci mutce .i je'u zo .e'e zo .e'i zmadu lo ka mi nelci lo se stidi smuni be ce'u kei lo barda .i na mo'u jdice fi zo .e'i .i ku'i ja'a go'i fi zo .e'e 


I don't know what happened to that obvious solution.


xu ja'a danfu .i za'a dai lo ji'a drata cu sidbo


In any case please don't deprive me of {sei bilga} and {sei te javni}.


xu do birti lo du'u lu sei te javni li'u mapti da'i

mu'o mi'e la selpa'i
