As a foundation, sure but the book would also need to include some
more real-world topics like web programming. I'm thinking of something
like "Practical PLT Scheme" patterned after Mr. Seibel's excellent
tome on CL.

The Pragmatic Programmers recently published a book on Clojure and
O'Reilly has a CL book on the way. It seems to me there'd be
interest in PLT Scheme, too, since mainstream programming culture
is (very) slowly waking from their Java-Java-Java-Java coma.

A "Dummies" book would probably be enough to justify Scheme. Ironic

That's essentially what The Little Schemer is, except without the
insulting title.
Than how about "Practical Scheme" or "Real World Scheme"?
