Why should it? I hardly think anybody should feel inclined to sing it

Of course, though some people seem to try their best to do so... ;-)
I meant that, IMHO, the cleaner way to notate such a situation is to use 
separate voices - after all, no singer should be able to sing two notes 
at once. In contrast to, say, a violin, which typically have a single 
note, but I've heard that sufficiently capable violinists are able to 
play (intentionally) (some well-chosen) chords.



Cheers,
Alexander

I've heard some BRASS players play (intentionally) (some well chosen)
chords :-)

(And no, I don't mean the technique (I've also heard) of players jumping
between notes so fast that the listener hears two clear lines of music.)
