> most promising

I got a bit stuck with these words. Is there a good definition what  
the target of the search is? Word "immune" gave one hint on what the  
targets could be. I don't know if there is an exact definition of the  
targets or if it is just "good in all aspects in all elections",  
maybe "to pick he best winner and to avoid strategic attacks", maybe  
"a general purpose method that can be recommended for all possible  
(computer counted) single winner elections", maybe even "a method  
that can be promoted without fear of opponents finding nasty failure  
cases", but if there is a (some more) exact definition for the  
targets of the search that'd be good to know.

Also the set of methods to be considered could carry a message. =>  
Maybe ranked ballot methods or Condorcet compatible methods with  
option to include also approval or other small additional information  
(maybe limitations too).

I'm somewhat familiar with the history of the discussions on  
this ,ailing list so I know what kind of methods these discussions  
usually refer to. Just checking if there is a clear definition of the  
target state where the "most promising" methods might take us.
