Oh -- I forgot to mention: rtd is shorthand for record type descriptor, 
not record type definition.  So your email should be taken as further 
evidence that the notational assumptions are not well described.

Also, I now realize rtd is used in SRFI 99 names, not to coincide with 
R6RS, but to avoid name clashes.  Perhaps this should be stated early in 
the specification?
