I hope you understand
I see these problems, but I disagree a bit. It can be really useful to look beyond the Racket implementation of a certain feature subset by reading the original spec, and you can judge the portability of your Racket program to other languages in the Scheme tradition better. As for finding specs, I think at least in the case of SRFIs it is easy. In case I get to this, would patches be appreciated? Thanks again.
