Thanks for the status summary. That's great.
As for the reference implementation, it really isn't
optional. If you can get a final draft out for discussion
with the changes you mentioned above, I'm happy to have the
SRFI sit in draft status for a while until you, Will, or a
volunteer gets around to bringing it up to date.
