I basically agree with what Tom Lord says about ports, and I would agree
with what he says about characters and strings if he didn't want to call
them "characters" and "strings".
That is, it's perfectly reasonable to have communicable-atoms and finite
sequences of communicable-atoms, and to communicate them using ports of
a type neither binary nor textual.
But I don't think R6RS needs to standardize those things.
