I think I have a long way to go before I can be convinced that the
Iterated Condorcet idea is sound.  It may behave too much like 
Approval and ignore too much of the electorate's real preferences.

Would Smith// serve any purpose, though?  Wouldn't the iterations 
eliminate the candidates not in Smith, anyway?
