Last October I wrote about ranked preferences, i.e. ballots like  
A>>B>C>D>>>E. That allows the voter in a way to define different  
approval like divisions. I think the concept is theoretically pretty  
but I'm not sure if the full set of capabilities is ever needed in  
practice and if the complexity can be justified with the achieved  
benefits.
