+1.

BTW, a suggestion that you can just report votes in future emails as "+'s,
0's, -'s" as that's a little easier to read. For example:

Foo feature +4, 0, -2
Bar feature +3, 2, -3

Subject: "Binding" Votes

Realized we haven't really decided who has a binding vote for spec
proposals.  Up to this point the listed authors have been making all
final decisions, but we also didn't have a mailing list like this one
with a smaller distribution and technical membership.

So the question comes up, should only the listed authors (Brad, Josh,
Dick, and myself) have binding votes or can the vote of anyone on this
list be binding?  Up to now I've been counting votes in terms of anyone
who votes on this list.

I don't have a problem continuing down this path until it becomes a
problem.  I will however capture vote results broken up between authors
and the larger community.  I'd imagine that in most cases the vote
result will be the same.  In the case when it isn't, I'd propose we
leave it to the authors to further discuss the proposal and reasoning
behind both sides, and then ultimately make the final decision.

Does that sound alright to everyone?
