To sum up my understanding of the issue: "Syntactic datums" are just strings of characters as defined by the grammar. "Datum values" are something more abstract, described only indirect via a function from syntactic datums.
If accurate, then things are even worse than I thought. How many actual levels of "value" are there, then? Abstract values might make sense in the context of a denotational semantics. However, the r6rs report only includes an operational semantics.
