Well, the votes don't have anything to do with the resolution. I.e., you can
vote (AFAIK) on a closed, "won't fix", or "postponed" resolution. I didn't
mean to infer that the voting replaces resolutions. If they're closed, then
that's that. *But* at least A: they show up in searches and B: people can
still vote on them, and that'll help make it easier to review "closed"
(well, "postponed" or "won't fix" resolutions).

Not that I know of :(. With ASP.NET it shouldn't be too hard to write it. If
anyone's interested...
