It may be useful to know how a *very* new Lojban-learner deals with this
matter when reading Lojban sentences. Robert J. Chassell had a very good
discussion of the current proposals under debate, and in reading his
examples, I naturally (Intuitively?) translated them in ways consistent
with his arguments. In other ways, given a Lojban sentence, I read that
sentence as meaning what Robert argues that it *should* mean. I thought
that might provide some insight into which way to go in this matter.
