Voting (and polls) are actually something I thought about beforehand and

wanted to have them covered by this XEP. My idea is that rules like the

ones you mentioned are enforced by the voting bot and not the XEP. The

XEP simply gives you a way to trigger an action - the voting bot would

be the one to "execute" the action, including check whether the same

person is trying to vote again and block that/make it a correction

instead etc.

Does that sound okay?

1. It should be possible for every user to create a vote, without the help of bots
   
2. The results should be able to be displayed live, not only at the end of a vote
   
3. Vote Correction, Voting for multiple options, etc should be a thing
   
4. Probably many other simple features other messengers provide with votes
   

1. In a MUC with 500 users, people spamming the message archive with responses which everyone else will then download, although they cannot display them because they have no idea about the rules of the vote, because only the bot knows what counts
   
2. No client even has an idea that this is a vote, can only be guessed from the text by the user, not programmatically by the client, so no custom UI possible.
   
3. Answer from the bot is undefined, will it be simply the result as text message? Again not possible to do any kind of UI.
