Oh -- I forgot to mention: rtd is shorthand for record type descriptor,
not record type definition. So your email should be taken as further
evidence that the notational assumptions are not well described.
Also, I now realize rtd is used in SRFI 99 names, not to coincide with
R6RS, but to avoid name clashes. Perhaps this should be stated early in
the specification?
