The official grammar doesn't bar "sa bbbe ccci", nor does it bar "sa bbba la ccca ra ddda ggga", so any rule that (arguably reasonably) excludes these formulas would not be a mere reformulation of Xorban, but rather a novel formulation representing a subset of Xorban as we have it.
If we equate the official grammar with the codified grammar, then it is clearly incomplete, because it says nothing about binding relations. Once it does say something about binding relations, the core grammar should bar "sa bbbe ccci". As I recall, we agreed there should be some sort of appendix that specifies a way of rendering "sa bbbe ccci" grammatical, but we have no agreement about what rules that appendix should consist of, and sorting out this appendix is not a priority. --And.
