Awesome, thanks.

Mostly so, I've tweaked it further.

Great point, though I reduced the number of {...} to:
{{{a} +{b}}} because we don't want people to think that multiple levels of
useless {...} is a GOOD idea. Also, the actual text was imbalanced; fixed.
> We should probably be consistent with the use of "map to" vs. ⇒
Agreed. I switch to ⇒ nearly everywhere, except where it didn't make sense
to me.

Good point. Fixed.

It's not a browser, it's a tool limitation on my end. I have a tool that will
translate all the single/double quotes into pretty curly quotes, but it's not
specifically designed for Lisp. Thus, it'll turn 'x into something like `x.
Escaping those characters eliminates the problem; it means I can use the tool
repeatedly without incident.
> Also, SRFI process requires HTML 3 but our code at the top claims it's 4.01
Ooops. It's supposed to be HTML 3.2, I copied and pasted the wrong header.
Also: I accidentally sent you this email privately earlier, and in that email,
I said that "I'll put a little more detail back into the abstract" because some
people had wanted more detail there. Never mind, the detail is still there.
