I think this is a good idea, and would be of great practical value.

It may a good idea to use ISLISP as a starting point. ISLISP is more or less a subset of Common Lisp with an almost identical condition system, but has a defined condition hierarchy that is more detailed than that of ANSI CL. Although there are not a lot of ISLISP implementations around, I think it would be of value to try to be compatible with ISLISP in this (and other) regards.

See http://www.islisp.info/specification.html
