        A minor note: I'd prefer that the word "Scheme" not be upper-cased in
        the report.  While this is appropriate for an acronym like "ALGOL", it
        does not seem to be for "Scheme", which is not an abbreviation for
        anything.

    Rationale:
    I agree that "Scheme" generally shouldn't generally be in upper case,
    and I think that it's "Scheme" everywhere else in the report.  However,
    I wanted to capitalize it in the title because this helps make it look
    like the Algol 60 report.

I agree with Chris -- Scheme is a word, not an acronym.  ALGOL is an
acronym and should be written in all caps.  If you want it to look EXACTLY
like the Algol 60 report, name the language ALGOL!
