Keywords can be written as foo: or as #:foo. The former is the
"official" syntax but it is incompatible with R7RS. The latter is not
even documented in the manual. I need to use keywords in r7rs mode for
define-simple-class, so I was wondering if the latter syntax is in
danger of being deprecated?

It's documented in the SVN manual source, in both the Keywords
and Hash-prefixed-form sections.
I'm puzzled why the web-site shows different. Perhaps some problem
updating the web-site. Hm. I'll look into it.

I intend to keep the #:foo syntax - it's used by both Guile and Racket.
