Here's the new material I've added to the Quotation section:

This SRFI recommends that implementations that provide both this SRFI
and immutable quotations should cause quotations to return the same
immutable pairs that this SRFI describes.

You might want to mention quasi-quotation as well.  R7RS allows:

  A quasiquote expression may return either newly allocated,
  mutable objects or literal structure for any structure that
  is constructed at run time during the evaluation of the
  expression.

Implementations that provide both this SRFI and immutable quotation
should have quasi-quotation create literal structure, not
mutable objects.
