Thanks for your kind answers. I suppose i do not understand some fundamental design decisions.
So please ask :) I (think I) have good reasons for all these design decisions... :)
From my knowledge about OpenFirmware i remember, that OF is a token threaded ANS-Forth with some extensions for the device-tree and a number of tokens (roundabout 300?) have a predefined value.
There's no such requirement in the OF spec.
Some (almost all?) OF implementations are token threaded; they use FCode tokens as Forth tokens. This is a severe restriction, as this allows us to build only a few thousand user words; also, it only complicates things, it doesn't simplify them.
