I guess I was being imprecise. To restate what I said in the other post, 
but in fewer words:

- For Range (Smith//Range, STAR, etc): I use a generalization of the 
midpoint approach.
- For Approval (Smith//Approval explicit implicit etc): I use mean 
utility cutoffs.

These seem to be the obvious ways to do it for the respective domains.
