 We can't really just scan the text for {.i} as it may be quoted, specifically by {lu...li'u}.

Or it could be grabbed by a magic word: ".i bu" ".i zei da", etc. Because of magic words, there's not much you can do with a Lojban text by just scanning for words, you always need to parse first in order to know whether the words are fulfilling their usual functions or not.
