In <11. Bytes objects>, I suggest using the term "byte-vector"  
instead of "bytes."  A plural name for the type will lead to  
confusion and is inconsistent with the names used for all other  
Scheme types.  Even if "byte-vector" isn't chosen, please consider a  
singular name.  I'd much rather say "two byte-vectors" instead of  
"two byteses" or "two objects of type bytes" or the ambiguous "two  
bytes."
