1. Mike/All: Mike send updated condition-simplification proposal,
   the rest of us look it over, then Mike put it into the report if no one

   - change library naming from (r6rs ---) to (rnrs --- 6)
   - drop mention of eqv? behavior for transcoders
   - fix description of eqv? behavior for records
   - change in bitwise-bit-count specification for negative inputs
   - reverse file-options defaults and change option names to
     nocreate, nofail, and notruncate (or was it no-create, no-fail,
     no-truncate?)
