This is perhaps off the topic a bit, but I think the graph-formatting facilities could use an overhaul. They don't seem to have been written with much of an eye to permitting extensions (e.g., format-graph-from-roots doesn't have &allow-other-keys). Another thing I'd like to see is some support for curved lines in the drawing layer. Franz CLIM seems to have this.

I'm not sure I'd go THAT far. Stacking the CLIM spec up next to the CL spec does not make for a comparison that is to the advantage of the CLIM spec... I don't mean to complain --- obviously there were far fewer resources to throw at the CLIM spec --- but I wouldn't call it complete. Best, R
