I believe that you have zeroed in on a main flaw in my argument! Metaclass
compatibility is indeed not in any chapter 1 or 2 discussions. And I was
hoping no one would notice (:-).

In my response to jonl@lucid, I suggest that a good interim solution from a
user's point of view might be to define some subset of a MOP that just
deals with modifications to standard-class, without admitting to metaclasses
that are independent of standard-class. This would involve dictating that
any subclass of standard-class is compatible with standard-class. I believe that
this is reasonable.
