Yes, but the R5RS doesn't say much about either.  In fact, the R5RS
doesn't even mention a current-error-port procedure.

The R6RS requires both (current-output-port) and (current-error-port)
to "return default textual ports".  It also says that these ports are
"normally" "associated with standard output, and standard error,
respectively", presumably via some implementation-dependent use of
the transcoded-port procedure or something analogous as illustrated
in my previous message.
