I hope most CLs you use obey ANSI X3.226-1994, not CLtL2 :) But anyway, I suggested elisp to continue to be compatible with itself** not with CL. Juanma **elisp, like Perl, is a one-implementation language, so grey areas in the docs are implicitly defined by the interpreter's behaviour. Not that they cannot be changed, of course; but doing so shouldn't be done lightly.
