I think that our perspectives differ a lot on this one mainly based on
how we view Scheme:
* you as the developer of Chibi --  a major R7RS implementation (and
with a lot of extras) -- see Scheme as a "major" programming language;
* me on the other side see Scheme as a DSL language that could be used
instead of Lua in may places;

Therefore if one would to implement a scheme interpreter (like I was),
and if one would like to integrate the SRFI (and especially R7RS)
documentation in his own implementation, one would have a hard time,
especially since in order to extract the documentation one would have
to use an external implementation.
