Are there any plans to implement the spec? Is the plan to have a library implementing it by providing a uniform interface to the implementation-specific primitives, or is this something that should be handled directly by the implementations? In particular, does there already exist the primitive support required to implement this spec in the popular threaded implementations?

Hi, I've just read the spec - nice work. Here are my (probably naive) comments
1) why is there THREAD.NAME, this looks like it isn't consistant with
the rest of the function names. The . is what I'm not liking.
2) would it be more flexible to pass keyword arguments to the thread
function that is require in SPAWN-THREAD?
It looks good. As part of the implementation I think there ought to
be a test suite that can test the conformance of a Lisp
implementation. As discussed in this thread, it is probably important
that global/special variables work the same way in all Lisps - or
provide a wrapping mechanism to portable access thread shared
variables.
Cheers
Brad
