this is the final text being sent to the steering committee for endorsement

I think that is correct. The Working Group had put up draft 9 for public vote, which (narrowly) made the 85% ratification requirement set by their charter. There was a final objection made by Gerald Jay Sussman, whose opinion carries a lot of weight when it comes to Scheme... The WG voted unanimously for a change that addressed his concerns, and the Steering Committee approved the making of this change, after which we had this tenth draft. I do believe the WG is done with it. Therefore it seems basically set in stone, unless the Steering Committee edits it, which seems to me outside the scope of what they do (although I don't feel I completely understand how this works).
