Time might be short, but don't forget timezone issues. Usenet takes time
to propogate postings, etc.

I think one of the problems is the vote might be viewed as "which
alternative to A1 do you like" rather than "which alternative, even
including A1, do you like" - personally I'd be very interested to see
the level of support for A1, _especially_ if it overwhelms support for
any other syntax...

Tallying the results of 22 votes now:

 > for i in `cat votes.txt |cut -d, -f1`; do echo $i; done|sort|uniq -c
      4 A1
     14 C1
      2 C2
      1 C4
      2 D1
      1 D2
      2 E1
      2 E2
      1 E4
      5 F
      1 H
      1 I
     23 J2
      3 K
      4 L

People who changed their votes from "J2 J2 A1" to "J2 J2 J2" I've
included as "J2 J2 A1" based on the question above.

Votes included minus email addresses below...

Michael.
