Summary of the summary:
• literal value immutability passed, but only by a hair among implementers – this will probably need a further survey of implementations
• definitions and expressions in any order passed, but (as noted in the original question) will need further thought
• effect of multiple values returned to the continuation of a procedure call subform remains effectively completely unspecified due to no option passing
• SRFI 207 notation for bytevectors passed
• string-ref SHOULD be O(1), there is no MUST and no special-case for sequential scanning
• linear update procedures will be kept as they are
• all the proposed removals from the Batteries passed
• SRFI 152 is accepted as the basis of our string library – and there was much rejoicing

Thanks to all who voted.
