Well, the first suggestion, where the approval ballot is separate from the ranked ballot still meets later no harm (with respect to the ranked ballot). Ranking all the candidates is still risk free. Also, I think later no harm basically means "won't compromise". I am not sure that it is even a desirable criterion for a method to have and think that the fact that a method that doesn't meet later no harm is a not major issue. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
