It appears that Rob Sayre  <sayrer@gmail.com> said:
>Would it add value given that WASM uses these?

I don't think it does use them. The things described in
draft-rivest-sexp have # escapes to embed hex constants and other
strange stuff not found in anything else that people call
S-expressions.

The normal S-expressions used in many versions of Lisp and Scheme,
which I think are the same as what WASM uses, are described in many
places starting with the Lisp 1.5 manual from the early 1960s.

R's,
John
