    I would like to see the scheme call/cc, and the engine abstraction from
   MIT Scheme added to ANSI COMMON LISP. Call/cc would replace tag and block
   which are not as eliuqent. Engins would allow simulations to be made more
   easily.

ANSI Common Lisp is already an approved standard.  To the best of my
knowledge, it cannot be added to, deleted from, or otherwise changed.

    I would also want graphics primitives, or CLIM to be added to ANSI COMMON
   LISP so programs useing graphics or windows could be eaisily ported from
   one Lisp compiler to another.

CLIM is already a de facto industry standard.  There is no need to add
it to the language.

    I realize that it will be hard to find a concensus on what graphs to add
   but portible graphics is required to increase intrest in LISP. Call/cc would
   allow multitasking, delayed computation and nondeterminism. I would like
   to have the help of LM users as the LM has the most powerful version of
   LISP and LM users have the most experence with LISP useing graphics.
