Hi Richard,

I think 3-way votes are potentially confusing, and saying it's a "simple 50%+1 
majority vote" doesn't really make sense if it's not a yes/no question. 

What if the vote splits 49/48/3? Does "do nothing" win because the other 
options didn't pass the winning post, even though some people would actually be 
happy with either option? I don't think there are many people who would rank 
the options as A > neither > B in this case.

Perhaps it would be better to separate the vote in two:
- Should coding standard be changed? Yes / No, 50%+1 required for change
- Which style should be used if change is accepted? A / B, highest total wins 
regardless of proportion.

Regards,
