Programming languages - people have their own particulars - standards are interrelating. XML for example. Uhm math is the ultimate standard. Can you think of a better one? English is not standard. NLP is a gluttonous mix of rigarmarole. So Lojban... ya... the symbolistic expenditure has to be defined. So a map to theoretical Language A from X-lish or whatever. Kind of like music rewritten for more of a distance approach from humanistic portrayal.
