Just to be clear:  the purpose of a consensus call is to resolve ambiguity about 
preferences among choices being discussed.

So I listed the choices that I had seen dominating the discussion, rather than 
listing among a full range of theoretical -- albeit possibly quite reasonable -- 
choices.

If there is a consensus that /neither/ of the two listed choices is preferred, 
then a more careful listing and consideration of alternatives would make sense.
