However, the votes came in and R5RS' semantics won out.
Per
http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/wiki/WG1Ballot2Results, 4 out of 5 voters who submitted "opinions" on this vote seemed to think it was the wrong choice. The only opinion (that I have access to) in its favor was "Too many existing programs expect exactly one value". I'm curious about such programs -- where are they? I'd be happy to fix a few of them here and there. If enough people volunteer, we can eliminate this argument.
Ooh, Alex says "enough complaints" can re-open the ticket. I hereby complain. ;-)
