Always end your proc's with return.

Strings should always be quoted with "

This helps clarifying things.

If a string is so big that it does not fit well in one line (I normally go for 78 char lines when coding) use / to jump to another line.

The empty string is "".

In XOTcl, never use non-positional arguments on instproc init.
