Hi Alex, At a glance the paper looks very interesting, although I can't help but be frustrated that your citation for MDDA is Smith and Ossipoff, who neither invented it nor discovered its properties...
Here is my proposal and investigation from June 2005, "A new method satisfying FBC, SDSC, and SFC" http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-June/016374.html This is also linked from the electorama wiki: http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Majority_Defeat_Disqualification_Approval That is to say, this method was deliberately designed to satisfy certain properties, including FBC. Mike did not know whether these criteria were compatible (he was advocating MMPO, which lacks SDSC), and I set out to discover whether they were.
