FWIW, the combination of limiting the PEP to binding expressions and the motivating example of sequential if/elif tests that each need to utilize an expression in their body (e.g. matching various regexen by narrowing, avoiding repeated indent) gets me to +1.
I still think the edge case changes to comprehension semantics is needless for this PEP. However, it concerns a situation I don't think I've ever encountered in the wild, and certainly never relied on the old admittedly odd behavior.
