     - Programmers writing new applications using Guile should be happy,
     too. There is almost no extant Emacs Lisp code which doesn't use
     buffers and other Emacs-specific data types; any Emacs Lisp code
     they want to use in their application will need porting anyway.

   Seriously, no issue here, although I'm not sure I understand the
   thrust of the last point.

because the trickiness manifests in interface design (as you point out
earlier in the post), the fact that emacs is very tied to its data types
narrows the problem down to w/in shouting distance of some potentially
small portability library.  this makes guile programmers happy.
