That seems quite distinct from being able to tell other people how to use
Klingon.

You lost me.  I thought you were proposing a list of example usages for
*Klingon* words, not a semi-official list of suggested translations for
English ideas which don't have exact matches in the known vocabulary.  If
the latter is actually what you're talking about, then I'm even less prone
to consider it a useful thing to have.
