Absolutely.  I suspect however that there will typically be only one
proposal, the version that made it through the SRFI process.  Sometimes,
as with numeric vectors, there are multiple SRFI (or R6RS) versions,
though.

Here's my new wording:

    When the working group votes yes or no on a proposal, a simple
    majority of the legal votes cast (ignoring abstentions) shall
    determine the vote.  A process similar to the ranked-pairs
    voting used by working group 1 may be used in the case of multiple
    competing proposals.

Does that satisfy your concerns?
