Are you counting cardinal hybrids (Smith//Approval, Approval Sorted 
Margins, Double Defeat Hare) as being part of the "anything else that's 
cardinal" category? I would imagine so, but I want to be sure.

As for WSDC compliance, I'm not all that sure which methods pass, so 
I'll ask the other members if they could let me know which of the 
methods pass WDSC. If nobody answers, do you want to just equal-rank all 
Smith methods equal, specify a more detailed ranking yourself, or 
something else?

Them's the breaks when it comes to Approval. But got it, I'll count 
what's above the first cutoff.
