I do not believe that any part of this SRFI can be implemented portably, because there is simply no guarantee that a NaN round-tripped through a bytevector will always produce bitwise the same results.  It is possible to portably distinguish between a signaling and a quiet NaN, but I doubt it matters.

So unless Wolfgang disagrees, I'd like to withdraw it. 

It's entirely up to the three of you (including Emmanuel, right?), but the fact that it can't be implemented portably isn't a reason by itself to withdraw the SRFI.
