I have confirmed that the W3C polling system does indeed give us the ability to run a rank-ordering vote. It does sound like a better way of running the vote. We'll go for that.

I'm not sure WHEN we will start the vote, as the recent discussions have made it clear(er) to me that the options are not quite clear to everyone. More on that later.
