I’m not keen on the comparison to POSIX.  For one, POSIX is for
operating systems, and the web is no substitute to operating systems.
In addition, what makes it /look/ like an operating system, i.e., the
fact that many applications can run “on the web”, in the browser, is
largely software as a service (SaaS), which I’d rather not promote.

Mind you, I do like the idea of having ready-to-use web tools in Guile,
and prominent in the manual.

Anyway, my 2 opinionated ¢.  ;-)

Besides I enjoyed reading the paragraph about “web data types” and why
it matters.

One nitpick: could use you @deffn {Scheme Procedure} instead of
{Function}, for consistency?

Kudos for writing all this nice doc!
