    The definition of TRUNCATE in R3RS, p 20., seems ambiguous.

	TRUNCATE returns the integer of maximal absolute
	value not larger than the absolute value of x.

    In the case of -1.1, for example, both 1 and -1 are of maximal
    absolute value not larger than the absolute value of -1.1.
    I suggest adding the phrase,

       ... with the same sign as x.

Right.
