The reference implementation of SRFI 35 uses records to represent
conditions.  But it's unclear what this means, or to what advantage a
program would exploit it or should.

If you mean that a condition type should correspond to a record type,
then that doesn't really extend to compound conditions, unless you're
willing compound records into the records proposal, or do something
like Common Lisp, which exploits multiple inheritance.  I'd personally
hate to burden the records stuff with this.
