        Well... actually... what I proposed yesterday ("at least 80 YES votes
*and* at least 40 more YES's than NO's") corresponds to what David proposed
today, and is now Option 2 (Option 1 is a misinterpretation of what I
proposed, but don't worry, who in his/her right mind would vote for that 8-).
