Provide a solution for polling in posts and comments. Something more elegant than using multiple comments + a karma sink.

Polling seems (IMHO) to work very well given the current tech. Unpack "elegant" for me.

It should be possible to put an entire poll in one comment, with machine-readable distinctions between different replies; and poll responses should not interact with pollster karma. (It might be nice if one got a karma point for answering a poll, to incentivize participation, but that's not so much an elegance matter.)

An +/- agree button partially fixes this.
