The consensus seems to be that in the context of a release vote, a "+0"
means I agree but may not contribute, and "+1" means I agree and will help.
It looks like Larry is trying to keep up with the latest proposal on the
jakarta mailing list, as maintained by Ted Husted. Ted originally tried to
make a case for a separate set of indicators for approval and committed to
make it happen (his specific proposal was a "binding" suffix), but that was
voted down in favor of the simpler -1/-0/+0/+1 scheme.
Even though Ted's overall proposal hasn't been ratified, this particular
provision makes sense to me as there was much concern expressed over the
lack of support for previous releases.
