Can I help?  I mean, presuming that the sentence above, or some extension, 
is reasonable documentation?  I get a sense that there is a reluctance to 
document things because that entails a commitment to supporting them in the 
future -- is that the issue here?

Being new to the community, I don't have a sense of how this strange 
library system called srfi works.  It does not appear to have version 
control.  Would one propose a (string-append "srfi-" (next-id)) that's just 
like srfi-19 except that it has current-time defaulting to time-monotonic? 
If this is a ball of hair I can read about somewhere, or should take 
offline, I'm happy with that.  I'm just curious.

Thanks,
Grem
