I understood that the VPs should be ranked but that there is no such  
requirement for the rest of the council. Or are all members of the  
council considered to be numbered VPs?

The use of some proportional ranking method indeed distorts  
proportionality a bit. But I proposed to study also this "one method  
only" approach (as an alternative to best possible optimization of the  
proportionality of the council) since the resulting method would be  
simple and the distortion that it causes could be smaller than its  
benefits.
