The description of put-datum in section 8.2.12 says: "However, it is that, if the written external representation is read back via get-datum, get-datum will return an object equal (in the sense of equal?) to datum."
This is a bit mangled. I suggest: "However, if the written external representation is read back via get-datum, get-datum will return an object equal (in the sense of equal?) to datum." In addition to eliminating "it is that", I also changed "read back in" to "read back", but that's a style call. Even so, this statement is not always true because put-datum does not write a trailing delimiter. Therefore, I suggest: "However, if the written external representation is read back in via get-datum (and provided either the external representation does not require a trailing delimiter or an appropriate trailing delimiter is written after the external representation), get-datum will return an object equal (in the sense of equal?) to datum."
