Optional rules always complicate things for the user.

If that's so, it's an error in description; the ban on these should be
language-wide, like the ban on "bb" or "pg", and for the same reason:
they threaten audio-visual isomorphism. (Which is not to say that
speakers of some languages can't make clear distinctions in all these
cases.)

I suspect it's specified for lujvo because it came up in the context
of lujvo and its extension to fu'ivla and cmene wasn't thought through.
This dates back to Loglan days.
