But the argument that I was responding to seems to indicate that anything marked with "la" is just a string being treated as a name with no semantic content in the same way that "zo" turns a string into a sumti with no semantic content.


That's basically what CLL says in Chapter 6 Section 2:

"The last descriptor of this section is “la”, which indicates that the selbri which follows it has been dissociated from its normal meaning and is being used as a name."

I'm also pretty sure your problem is not with that. You oppose the merge of CMEVLA with BRIVLA because you oppose any changes to the language. It would be better if you just said that instead of trying to come up with arguments involving nicknmes or places of selbri, which are really not all that relevant to the proposed merge. 

 
I know what dotside does, and was just making a joke about one extreme possibility of treating any old word-string as a name.  

As you point out somewhere else, it is already possible: "la'o cmene la cmene" is correct Lojban.
