Actually, that would be a pretty good idea- it would fit in
beautifully with the cross-dialect unification efforts that
are underway.  If I have a chance to work on this I'll try
that approach.

One thing that could interfere, though- I don't know if the
standard for SIF will accomodate Squeak's style and stamp
information- the style information often contains hyperlinks,
and the stamps might contain versioning information.

However, SIF could be modified to allow such information
if it does not already have some accomodation for it.
