I understand that, and it is ok as far as the extension is an option only to support r6rs semantics. My only concern is that somebody take the words on uid as the only way, or definitive recommendation to implement non-generative rtds. If it is noted that using uid per R6RS is one way to realize non-generative rtds, I don't have anything more on this srfi. --shiro
