    re: It would be rather awful if the use of documented and supposedly portable
	features of CLIM resulted in applications effectively only being portable 
	to a limited set of implementations which happen to provide a particular 
	tasking model.

    Isn't it the case that CLIM applications will likely only "port" to those
    implementations that are party to the CLIM consortium?  I know that this 
    isn't a "closed" consortium; but not even every vendor with a Symbolics-
    inspired multi-tasking design belongs to it.  Someone can correct me if 
    they really think that CLIM is likely to be working freely and well on, 
    say, MACL 2.0 (the Apple Common Lisp).

I believe ILA says there are working on this now, and that MACL 2.0 is
actually a pretty good piece of work.
