I agree, I think the only thing that making kturtle conform to the logo 
language is the ability to run logo programs that exist.  So the decision 
should consider the ease of use of the language, and whether or not having a 
large codebase of examples (if such a thing even exists) and possibly a 
userbase is important.

just my 2 cents :)
