I'm very sympathetic to this argument -- an exception seems like a thing-in-motion, not a thing-at-rest. But perhaps it's just the effect of habit, setting up expectations about what good names are. (After all, plenty of people seem happy with the term "condition"!) Perhaps there is a middle ground of sorts: maybe the manual can comprehensively describe what R6RS refers to as conditions using the term "exception objects". WDYT? Andy
