I like it too!  It also allows easy abstention, for those who don't
care.  If you don't want sci.painting for naming reasons, but you don't
care about (or don't think you are qualified to vote on) rec.painting,
then you submit a NO vote for sci.painting and you don't submit any
vote on rec.painting.
