I personally think it would be best if people wrote in and spoke to each other in formal situations in a constructed language. They could add in as many idioms as they wanted but could only use the standard version in schools, law and the major media.
At home people should be able to speak (or sign) whatever they wish. The issue with linguistic diversity is that while it may be fun for a conlanger or a language buff, it is inconvenient for the average person when they travel who just wants to be able to book a hotel. Furthermore, most science is in English, which proves that-at least in some areas-a single language can almost completely replace all others. And finally, if everything was written in the standard language then if one knew that language everyone who loved languages would be able to read about other languages' without having to learn an intermediate language... I have personal experience with this from trying to get Chinantec roots for my conlang, but having the only online dictionary (I can't afford interlibrary loans in my city to get the actual book) be bilingual in Spanish and Chinantec... So I translate the Spanish on the Internet into Spanish and then search the dictionary for the Chinantec. Obviously, this is prone to error.
