   Also, to show my ignorance, I've heard the new Common Lisp standard
   includes objects.  How does this compare to objects in XLISP
   (unfortunatly I do not know "flavors" or the other object-oriented
   variants of LISP).  Is there a good reference on Common Lisp objects
   that anyone would recommend?

Yes; there is a very good book on the topic:

  Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp

  Addison-Wesley 1989
