>From the point of view of getting these changes into the slime
project, it makes a lot of sense.  From their point of view, slime.el
is just going to be split into two files.  If we include "acceptance
of our code by the Slime community" as a project goal, then I think
that we pretty much need to take this step.  Perhaps later the split
off file can be converted to CL.
If we do want to get our changes into Slime, then (I would assume) we
will need to submit many incremental patches, with each patch being
useful.

Are there any Elisp experts out there that could point out the
incompatibilities between Elisp & CL that we are likely to run into?

As Larry says, I'm going to try to split slime.el.  I'm going to back
off on the renaming right now because I've reduced my requirements. 
Instead of trying to split off slime _and_ make new parts that run in
CL, I am just going to split Slime.
