I read you comment quickly and only now realized it's from you (Dan Weinreb, über lisp guru of ITA fame). I understand your felling (to put an early draft out). But, there is any chance you could send a copy to interested people who know the quality of your work (the man worked on the Common Lisp specification for god's sake!) and will read it as an early draft (no citations allowed ;-) and will promise not to send the draft to anyone? ;-)
