It might be easier to sell if you mention that the winlisp protocol
could be used by other external frontends, for example a Tcl/Tk one:

Actually, I am not sure how feasible this is. Any reason why it
wouldn't work? A minimal sexp parser would be needed but that
shouldn't be too hard to do in Tcl.
