They want to replace their Rsr5n style denotational semantics on paper 
with something they can execute.
Ecamascript 4 has a "yield" operator to support co-routines in the 
language, and again this is just for explanatory purposes. A reasonably 
fast interpreter is just a nice side effect. I suspect MLton call-cc 
will be fine.
