By the way, for the mathematically inclined, I think I was mistaken --
I believe the term I meant is Linfinity-normalized. In case I'm still wrong
(it's getting late) I'll clarify this: I mean that the utilities in each set are
shifted to center on the origin and then scaled by a factor equal to the
maximum utility in the set. So instead of (100, 40, 40, 0) we would have
(1, -1/5, -1/5, -1). The point is that each set of utilities should have the
same minimum and maximum.

  If we calculate SUs according to this method, then we get (D > B > A > C).
So Approval picked the second-highest SU.
