I  think the way people use certain things has changed slightly. For instance, in lo mi jufra, when "lo me lo drata ku moi" was used, I looked up "moi" in the CLL. My understanding is that it can now attach to any sumti, meaning "something of a set related to <sumti>. Just little stuff like that.

It's not that {moi} attaches to sumti; {moi} can attach to a preceding {me}-clause.
The CLL *does* discuss this in the chapter on mekso, as a way to allow mekso before a MOI, which is otherwise not possible: https://lojban.github.io/cll/18/11/
This has since been generalized, at least in the case of {moi}, to allow for arbitrary sumti in the preceing {me}-clause.
That generalization is documented in a BPFK section: http://www.lojban.org/tiki/BPFK+Section%3A+Numeric+selbri

You're right that the way people use things has changed though. Just look at how we use {ka}-abstractions in IRC some day.

It's because of this divergeance between the CLL and usage that we need some way to update the CLL, which is not possible until the publication of CLL1.1.
