     Please mention the configuration.scm changes.

ok.

     Please take into account my previous suggestions:
     
       https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-11/msg00922.html

ok
     
     
     Shouldn???t it be a single comma in @uref?  

I don't think so.  The Texinfo manual suggests, that in this case, the second arg
should be empty.

     Here you???re assuming that when VAL is #f, it???s necessary invalid, an
     assumption that???s questionable and wasn???t made until now.

No.  I'm assuming the exact opposite, namely, that #f is a *valid* value.
     
     Can you instead change your own field predicate to do that?

I could do that, but then I'd be defining a lot of them which are substantially 
identical to existing ones - and below, you say that you don't want me to 
duplicate code ...

     No ???else??? here?  Looks like a bug.

No. The idea is, that if fields are #f then they output absolutely nothing.
     
     How much of this is copied from configuration.scm?  I don???t want
     duplicated code here.

Much of it was copied, but modified where appropriate.  None is identical
I don't think.
