A strict reading of the process document suggests that if the author does
not withdraw, the editor(s) finalize the document *automatically* at the
end of the period iff it meets the formal requirements.  That seems
grotesque.  I suppose the idea is that the SRFI not be lost if the
author tragically succumbs to the Lisp Curse.

I suggest this process: that the editor ask whether there are objections
to finalization, and if there are none from either author or list,
the document is finalized.

I have no objections in the case of SRFI 124.
