My point exactly. Lojban is a Loglan, but when Loglan is used, unqualified,
as the name of a language it is interpreted as TLI Loglan.

"Loglan" is two things. It is a word for any of the logic-based languages,
and it is a name for the one made by TLI. In the first form it is generic;
the second term is unnoficial but widely used; I doubt there is anyone on
this list who has not used the term that way before.

Then I'll clarify. Discussions of Lojban (the LLG language) are often not
germane to Loglan (the TLI language). The two are related, but the name
widely associated with TLI Loglan should not be a meta tag.
