The more I think about this, the more it just doesn't seem right.

It seems that splitting off and then re-ordering issues as proposed
above is to be used as a scheme to strengthen the effort to kill off
longdesc.

Therefore, I object and ask to have the poll run concurrently on all proposals.

All of my cards are on the table. No tricks are up my sleeve. I hope
the same it true of others.

Let's have the poll fair and square and decide this thing without further delay.
