Yes, exactly.

Thank you.

That's an excellent point about R7RS-small. Perhaps we can have one ready for R7RS-large once it is announced. Since R7RS-large will be based on many SRFIs, efforts on those SRFIs will be doubly rewarded.

Moreover the format I will propose will be as simple as possible so that one can use standard functions (basically `assoc` and firends) to handle it, and at the same time to be 1-to-1 convertible to JSON so that we can build HTML views over this data.
It's fine with me, especially if you plan to share your code.
