DYN is a good combination of Approval and delegation of voting power to 
favorite proxies. Power is delegated only when the voter is uncertain (or 
wants to get the best strategic result), and the candidate delegates have 
good information on which to base their votes.

Methods that aren't limited by the usual traditions can be relatively 
strategy-free, and briefly-defined and understandable to the public.

But, when I and others have proposed non-traditional methods, methods using 
input other than voters' ballots, we've encountered strong opposition from 
people. I've even gotten consistent rejection for the candidate withdrawal 
option, on the grounds that it supposedly gives candidates power to overrule 
voters.

So, as good as non-traditional methods could be, I don't propose them for 
public elections anymore, because of the rejection that they've elicited in 
the past.
