There are a few issues that I have found and didn't feel comfortable
fixing myself while proofreading:
- need to fix the lex.tex description of termination for identifiers
numbers, characters, and booleans. (see my earlier mail and Mike's
response.)
- the set of <string element>s seems to be incomplete; Section 3.2.6
lists also \x<digit 16>+; and \<linefeed> and \<space>.
also, why does the set of <string element>s explicitly include <linefeed>
and <intra-line whitespace>. Don't they already fall into the
<any character other than " or \> category?
- we agreed that with (quote obj) and (datum->syntax id obj), an
exception *should* be raised if obj is not a datum. I think it
now reads effectively as *must*.
- with the textheight specified in r6rs, the first-page footnote is cut
off on US letter-size paper. you should see this reflected in the
draft that I sent to the steering committee.
