Thanks.

I agree strongly. In this case, with an almost perfectly inconclusive
result, I would say it is unfair to stamp the proposal as "rejected"
since there was not a majority no-vote; but equally wrong to stamp it
as "sort-of-accepted" (these are the two main positions in this thread
so far!). The message from the voters is clear: maybe, but not in this
exact form. Maybe the authors of the proposal will refine it to a
stronger proposal, or maybe they won't. But it seems to me that some
informal evolution is the next thing to consider, rather than repeated
rounds of hyper-formalised proposing and voting.
