Wr might keep the two versions so that each can emphasize
whatever parts we like. I think they are both in agreement.
The only thing from your version I wasn't sure about is:

"The default inner PA for lo can remain lo(ro), as in CLL."

I think that doesn't work. {lo pa broda} is Mr Single Broda,
{lo re broda} is Mr Pair of Prodas, {lo so'i broda} is 
Mr Many Brodas, then {lo ro Broda} is Mr All Brodas, a very
large individual, not the lean individual that appears here and 
there again and again, but the big one that is all over the place
all the time. {lo ro broda} is {piro loi ro broda} (in the collective
reading of loi): all the avatars together, isn't it?

The default I would expect is {lo pa broda}, Mr Individual Broda,
if we need a default at all. Having no default would be better.
