Just a little more on this:  the way we used to do it is to define "Voting
Index" (VI) using the F/A ratio such that:

If A>0 then VI = F/A; else
if F=0 then VI=0; else
VI = 'Unanimous'

and we had additional text that said a proposal was ADOPTED if VI > AI,
where 'unanimous' was considered greater than any AI.

Still doesn't help with ties for A=0...
