Stephane, this is just playing with words!    By "single-member
district" the world of electoral science means and understands "a
district electing one single member" to multi-member body, like a city
council or state legislature.  The term is used to distinguish this type
of election from a "single winner election" where there is only one post
to fill, like a city mayor or a state governor.  Any other "definitions"
are unhelpful and just create confusion where none need exist.

So my statement stands:
