I'll second the nomination of John for this role. When I was 
implementing DateAndTime>>#printOn: in GemStone/S, I found that VA 
Smalltalk failed one of my new tests (I tried my tests on several 
dialects). The Standard explicitly calls for a space at the beginning if 
the year is positive but after investigating further, I decided to 
follow VA Smalltalk (which excludes the space) and included the comment, 
"but see VAST which makes a case that the space should be excluded."
