Ahem.  As a member of Lojbanistan in good standing, I can say that
*nobody* thinks Lojban should be *the* IAL, although people have used
it as *an* IAL, in this sense: people from different countries have
used it for communication (mostly in writing, mostly over the net,
but paper mail and face-to-face conversations have both taken place).
