It has RISC-like features, most importantly load-store architecture.
Simple instruction formats and only two instruction width options also
sound RISCy. But hard coupling between A registers and X registers does
not look like RISC to me.

RISC-V is adopting a very similar idea, in preference to the widespread
current SIMD fashion.
