 ### Dependencies
 
-For the prototyping phase,
-you should *really* limit yourself to the ISLisp subset.
-If absolutely necessary you can choose some of the libraries mentioned in the "Productisation" section below.
+Counterintuitively, I chose ISLisp partly *because* it imposes limits in the prototyping phase.
+Standard UNIX libraries like curses, catgets, xdr and dbm can still be used from compiled code using the FFI.
 
 ## Coding standards
 
 Even though this is a prototype, attention should be paid to basic craftsmanship.
 
-* Divide the system into packages, using the subset of CL that is
-  supported by OpenLisp.
+* Divide the system conceptually into packages.
   This can start from just "section headers" with lots of semicolons.
-* Write docstrings for at least each public fun, class and package.
-  There are good guidelines in the Elisp manual, but for now one sentence will suffice.
-* Use `declare`
-  to check the types of parameters in public interfaces (see below).
+* Write comments for at least each public fun, class and package.
+  There are guidelines in the Elisp manual, but for now one sentence will suffice.
+* Dynamically
+  check the types of parameters in public interfaces (see below).
 * Indent all the source code using Emacs.
 * Some minimal documentation, at least an overview like in [README driven development](https://tom.preston-werner.com/2010/08/23/readme-driven-development.html)
   and man (actually, [mdoc](https://manpages.bsd.lv/toc.html)) pages[7].
 * Certain parts of a system justify greater detail for a *complete* specification.
   These are (newly-designed) network protocols and complex persistent data models.
-  For new protocols, use JSON-RPC as a base and follow the documentation style of LSP.
+  For new protocols, use XDR with or without RPC but generated from rpcgen .x files.
   Data models should be documented as commented SQL DDL.
 
 ### Run-time type-checking

 ## Dependencies
 
 For productisation you may want to add more features.

+OpenLisp has idiomatic interfaces for several more UNIX features in its manual, which could be re-implemented.

 Dependencies should be limited to these two
 initially.

-* Any other `trivial-` libraries available in Quicklisp.
-* Other libraries available in Quicklisp.
+The order of preference is:
+1. Any UNIX interface documented in the OpenLisp manual.
+2. A port of any of the `trivial-` libraries from the Awesome-CL list.

-Now it may also be worth taking on the complexity of a Web UI,

-HTMX & ReST (following Fielding) seem simpler than single-page applications
-(outside the very specific case of drawing on a canvas using ParenScript).
