To be fair, you contributed strongly to this side-tracking. By waving
a big red flag:

  "This poor design precludes RnRS specifying read syntax for any
   EOF object [...]"

you yourself drew attention to the underlying issues of the design
instead of keeping things focused to the documentation.

I agree that the doc could improve in this case...
