A purely theoretical question: how well defined is the interface
between elisp and the underlying core? Is there some specification 
or an automated test suite against which an implementation on top of
a new VM can be implemented? 

Or is it purely a trial and error process? Implement Elisp
on top of a VM and see if something breaks, and that's your test suite?
