Okay, that's correct, but it is the "most possible (half) official" 
thing that exists.

To the entire world, the Klingon language is related to the KLI. 
Everyone accepts translations by the KLI, they have contracts with 
Paramount/CBS etc. If we start to consider it just "a club set up by 
some guy", then we can go ahead and establish KLI's around the world and 
play institute for ourselves.

If there might ever by *any* kind of Klingon language "government", I'm 
very much sure that this will be the KLI. Who else could be?

That's true. And that's the major problem of this mailing list, always 
has been. Same for the language meetings. People don't use Klingon 
enough. But again, here is the problem of missing words. (esperanto for 
instance has a system to develop new vocabulary)
