Yes, and I messed up by making changes without noticing that the vote  
had specifically been called, but it was also a mix of an edit that  
was generally supported with one that missed the intended mark.  And  
so changes continued to occur.  Through this time, there were votes  
for "the current CVS version", but there were also concurrent calls  
for more change.  So... none of that is ideal, but I'm sure we'll get  
more practiced at this.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that, but the discussion is  
archived in the mailing list, and the revisions are archived in CVS,  
so I think we're covered in terms of being able to reconstruct events  
from the archives.

So... given all that, I've gone ahead and committed the changes, and  
my read of the discussion is that it's ready for vote, but to avoid  
repeating mistakes and also to avoid the "double affirmation" that  
would be caused by polling to see if everyone thinks it is ready for  
a vote (!), I'll ask now for anyone that thinks it is NOT ready to  
pipe up.  If nobody does in the next day or so, if I get online late  
tomorrow I'll call the vote, but anyone else should also feel free to  
do so, as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks,
Scott
