R4RS does not require support for general real numbers. Thus the transcendental functions are not required as essential procedures. If an implementation does provide support for general real numbers, then those functions should be implemented. As consequence, if the transcendentals get factorized out as optionally loadable module, then all support floating reals should. -- Klaus Schilling
