No.  If they declared it as environmental restriction, it might be an
ANS Forth system with that environmental restriction.

It's also deficient in that it does not say which names it provides
from wordsets that it does not provide completely.

No, but you can run Hayes' test suite (for the core words), and maybe
also the tests others have developed for other wordsets.

I would expect that if you point out these mistakes to the
maintainers, they will either fix them in some way, or retract the
claim that Ficl conforms to ANS Forth.
