I disagree, and fear over-engineering.

Without evidence that someone who wants to be heard has not been I 
believe our current voting methods adequately implements the consensus 
process.

I noted that you at one point voted a 0 because your attention had 
wandered off. Personally, when that happens I tend to be silent. One 
occassion when it mattered when that happened was with the XML Syntax 
publication, and I was heard, in a manner that was technically out of 
order, after the chair had declared 'resolved', when I raised the 
missing reference to the missing GRDDL transform.
