Well, I don't really like this.  We have a machanism (X3J13) that
is fairly democratic and has a fairly wide base.  I don't think we
should resort to a different mechanism that is less democratic and
less wide-based.

Moreover, something may be reasonable for users of the "major players",
but not necessarily for users in general.
