Re: RnRS
The layout of RnRS has Contents categories, BNF, Program structure, Formal syntax and semantics etc to give a succinct outline. PicoLisp docs need reorganization to be in RnRS type "standard form" of documentation. This will help users.

RnRS
Dear List, RnRS for picoLisp will help immensely. Even in documentation, perfection is achieved with irreducibility. Regards, Alabhya
