Please elaborate on the reason. Would we run into problems if we tried
to specify a super-minimal contract about what guarantees present and
future keyword systems provide to help SRFI writers?

A SRFI has to be implementable and usable as written.  It has to give specimens of procedure calls that will actually work for users, and its sample implementation has to be based on procedures and syntax that actually exist.  An abstract description is not sufficient.
