I just skimmed it, so can't give a good critique, but I noticed 2 problems:

(1) The first paragraph after Specification/Procedures is jumbled.
I'm not sure it even needs "This SRFI also provides two new convenience macros." here.
The rest is ungrammatical.

(2) It might be worth explicitly mentioning that string-append! and string-replace!
are macro versions of the SRFI-118 procedures, and thus "mostly-compatible" with the latter.
Not sure where/how best to do that,
