So the time is up and proposal B got the most votes. However only just, and 
several people have said that they like to make "substitutions" for lack of a 
better word.

I must say I would have liked a more unanimous decision, so I'm actually 
prepared to open up the discussion a bit, provided that if we don't have a 
clear consensus of a substitution then proposal B has won. But if we do this 
we should move very fast. By Friday we need to have the final name set

Now I actually like Stage more than Present, and I think most people like 
Stage very much too, so I would like Stage and Plan to be completely nailed at 
this point.

I don't like Flow, and more importantly the maintainer voted for Diagram too 
over Flow. I do get people not liking Diagram for sounding too hard. Now I 
have a third proposal, but I am going to test it with you off list before 
making a plea for substitution.

For Words/Write I actually don't have a preference, but will not accept Writer 
or Word. So right now I'm prepared to let the vote stand unless someone comes 
up with a really good alternative.

Same goes for Tables. It's not the best of names, I agree, but we have voted. 
Still if someone can gather a majority behind a different name, I'm willing to 
make a substitution vote here too.

As I do with Flow, I ask the rest of you to make sure you have at least 
substantial support before actually pleading for a vote.

best regards
