I'll have to find time to look at 530 and see if it lends itself well
to work like post-election auditing (where we need to be able to do
various kinds of math on unofficial totals for complicated (or simple)
sample selection, etc.). Obviously, it's not much good unless it makes
it into the vendors' products and then those products get certified
(which is something few of us have control over).
