Well, that's *one* reason.  But even if no one spoke it anymore (which 
will not happen soon; here in the Puget Sound area we have Esperanto 
speakers of grade [i.e.e elementary] school age) that would not 
invalidate it as a topic of discussion, even in sci.lang--witness the 
number of articles devoted recently to Etruscan and Sumerian.
