John,

Isn't that nonsensical under the _present_ circumstances? Wouldn't
that be like voting to to allow 2 to be the square root of 9?

To get at the root of what I think you're thinking here, shouldn't you
instead be proposing a vote to create a new name -- along the lines of
what Alan Duboff was positing here last week? At least _that_ proposal
would pass the 0th requirement of proposals -- it doesn't defy basic
logic.
