The SRFI format has a fixed list of sections. Adding extra
sections (like an appendix) isn't strictly prohibited, but
I haven't seen it in SRFIs. Regardless, it seems the
discussion of delimiter options logically belongs in the
Rationale section.
Perhaps tweaking the introductory paragraph would help?
Perhaps something like:
This specification uses "&" as marker/delimiter character.
Alternative marker characters were also considered, and
this mostly-historical section explains why we chose "&".
The discussion also considers SRFI-109, and refers to
the non-terminals defined in the syntax specifications
of both SRFI-108 and SRFI-109.
