I fully support the outer PA section of XXS.

I don't object to the section on the extension to other gadri, but only
because it is reasonably compatible with basic XS and also very close 
to CLL. I just don't see much point in having all these gadri at 
all.

I take it that you can't say for example:

*lei ci nanmu cu bevri le pipno gi'ebabo surla
*The three men carried the piano and then rested.

"Resting" would be a property shared with the members, so not a property
of {lei ci nanmu}. You'd have toi say:

lei ci nanmu cu bevri le pipno ijebabo ro ra surla
The three men carried the piano and then each of them rested.

Whereas with XS-le there is no problem in saying: 

le ci nanmu cu bevri le pipno gi'ebabo surla
The three men carried the piano and then rested.
