For example, where the first round of the secondary vote sits right now (15/15/4) we only have 44% in favor of any specific change. That doesn't nearly meet the 2/3rd requirement. By having a "pre-vote" to agree on reselecting the syntax, we have a CLEAR 2/3rd majority saying, "Yes, let's revisit this specific question again". With that clarified, making the decision on what specific syntax we want is less contentious. I had *hoped* that we wouldn't have a party split on the primary vote, that people who wanted <<>> would still favor a reconfirmation of the syntax since it was specifically cited that this would be a point to come back to, but atm that's how things turned out. Is this a vote to see if we want to re-vote on the attribute syntax?

Regardless of primary vote: You should vote on the secondary according to your preference of syntaxes. -Sara
