re:  We know that because we understand how Lisp
    differentiates between a structured object and its contents, but most
    traditional languages don't make such a distinction, so I think it is
    important that the CL standard not presume this abstract understanding.

I agree with you here.  And I don't think it is that painful to be
correct and exact in the specification.
