Fine with me. Also, looking at LispWorks site I see that "Common Lisp
Hyperspec" is trademarked, not Hyperspec.

IANAL, but:

 * Yes, trademarks need to be defended in order for them to remain.

 * This is why very often you see it mentioned the Foo is a registered
   trademark of Foobar Co., and use of it should not be construed as a
   challenge or infringement.

 * Since hypersec-lookup *refers* to the "Common Lisp Hyperspec" I
   cannot for the life of me see how it could be considered a
   challenge of the trademark. But add a small-print disclaimer, and
   there really should be no worries.

Cheers,
