Baseline-violating proposals

Pertaining to Lojban-as-someone-might-wish-it-to-have-been

• Stuff that would require a baseline change. Stuff here does not in itself necessarily aim to change the baseline. It notes what sort of changes might be desirable if the baseline were to change. The baseline may be reviewed at some point in the future, if certain highly stringent conditions are met, and an accumulation of jboske on this topic could inform that process.
  • Practicable syntax changes
    • Allow forethought sumti tail connection
    • Allow BAI phrase to modify tense markers
    • Allow tu'e...tu'u phrases as subsentences
    • Bridi to sumti converter
    • Internal grammar of tags
    • Move NAI to CAI
    • Reduction of the number of selma'o
  • Exploiting the preparser
    • Rant about "exploiting the preparser"
  • SE ka
• BPFK Section: gismu Issues, section "Other Issues"
  • gism
  • Redo the words
  • BPFK gismu Section: Problems With ka
  • BPFK gismu Section: Parenthetical Remarks in Brivla Definitions
  • BPFK gismu Section: Complete vs. Incomplete Specifications
  • Wouldn't it have been nice if all ''gismu'' had 4 and only 4 arguments so we could imagine them as solid tetrahedrons in space
• cmavo that are a ghastly waste of precious monosyllabic cmavo space
• Rant: e'o and e'u are not commands
• catalogue of baseline violations (either in usage or in proposals not flagged as non-baseline conformant)
• Wouldn't it have been nice...
  • if alphabetical order of numbers matched numerical order...
  • if Lojban had had some funny sounds and phooey
  • see CouldaBeenRafsi
  • if the rule about no la or lai or doi in cmene didn't exist
  • if Lojban had borrowed certain neat features from Loglan and gua\spi

loglangs - other logical languages

Here we are approaching languages distinct from Lojban.
