I only looked at ketty's interface, and my comments was based on what I saw 
there.
I cannot use your interface because I always get an error. If I try to get a 
question, I always get:
  Failure("ds_scan_token 13")

I don't know how to achieve this in HTML, WITHOUT having to reload the page 
after each choice is made (which will put an additional strain on the 
server). 

Do you remember that I coded a phpBB MOD for Condorcet?
I thought a lot about html-only ballot design, at that time. 
I have a much better design that I can use, but it would require a change on 
the server... 
... or maybe not... but it requires much more coding from me. 
... but this is a less urgent issue. I'll do it in stage one, only if I'm 
ready much earlier than you, otherwise it can wait stage 2.

I see your point, but we are not quite there, yet. 
Anyway, with 1024 answer, there will not be any optimal ballot design :)
