I am posting this as an individual member of the Scheme
community.  I am not speaking for the R6RS editors.

This is tricky stuff.  I'll try to address these to the best of my
ability in the next revision.  I'll close the issue for now---you
might want to check this again when it comes out.

Note that the specification can't state that proc must take as many
arguments as there are lists---this must only be the case if the lists
are non-empty.
