My strong preference is for LEXICAL. The ALLOW proposal (which is the
only option offered in v8, which is on the ballot) doesn't sit well
with me, and I wouldn't have been inclined vote yes on it.
Btw, both versions 8 and 9 have the non-preemptive problem that the
only examples they provide illustrate what happens in the screw
cases. This might lead some people to think that this whole issue
is kind of random. I think there should be a few examples of the
"normal use" (such as the un-filled-out examples in the problem
description). It's probably worth fixing this before the meeting
so that people doing last-minute aren't bogged down trying to decipher
the proposal by working backward from the strange examples currently
in the proposal.
