xml-dev - SAX vote: "SAX2" wins first-round majority (preliminary results)

[David Megginson <david@megginson.com>]

Voting for the name of the next version of SAX closed a midnight (EST) 
last night, St. Patrick's day.

Here are the preliminary results:

  "SAX2":    19 votes
  "OpenSAX": 12 votes
  "ModSAX":  2 votes

Since the name "SAX2" has won a clear majority, there is no need for a
further round.  However, I did tabulate the votes manually, and would
like to ask everyone to check the following list to ensure that I
recorded their votes correctly (I might add this list to the SAX2
documentation, so make certain that posterity will know what your real
opinion was):

Thanks, and all the best,

p.s. I would have voted for "ModSAX" if I had not been conducting the
     vote, but "SAX2" would still have had a one-vote majority.
