No. The issue here is fairly easy to understand. It's just that some  
people - well, Eclecticology - got confused because they thought the vote  
would be about the syntax for the extensions themselves.

Furthermore, my main goal here is to finally arrive at a decision. I don't  
care if the [%$)=PAWER}?3]?3] syntax wins, then people have nobody to  
blame but themselves. But the integration of things like Wikitex has been  
held up because of this trivial matter. We can always change things later  
if they turn out to be seriously screwed up. Or you can all just vote for  
my proposal and get a nice, working, standard syntax ;-)
