I'm not sure it's worth worrying about, particularly if we use
YES/NO/ABSTAIN.  Remember that this is a poll, not a strict vote, and
Guido will have full access to the raw data.  I believe that most people
who are not strongly opposed to any form of conditional expression will
vote ABSTAIN on "no change".
