A few more minor tweaks Mark H Weaver 29 Oct 2012 06:46 UTC

The current draft says:

That URL does not contain that quote.  This one does:

  http://www.paulgraham.com/popular.html

For consistency with the rule given in item 2, I suggest rewriting the
first intermediate step "f({n - 1})(x)" in item 7 as "(f {n - 1})(x)".

Also, since items 4 through 6 use the word "MUST", for consistency I
suggest writing "7. These MUST recurse left-to-right."

This requirement seems poorly worded for reasons that I find difficult to
explain.  It has to do with "MUST NOT" being applied to a condition that
might or might not be true (whitespace between e and the open paired
character), rather than to an action that the implementation must not
take.

I suggest rewriting it as something closer to: "The above mappings MUST
NOT be applied if whitespace characters are present between e and the open
paired character."

You might consider referencing SRFI-62, which was the first specification
for these datum comments (later adopted by both R6RS and R7RS).
