Vote with Your Feet (Bob Isaacs) - becket, so it's not as confusing

Yoyo, I'm curious why you think a dance being in Becket formation
would make the end effects less confusing (either for dances with
out-on-minor-set interactions in general or for "Vote with Your Feet"
in particular) than in a duple improper dance of otherwise similar
complexity.
I'd never thought of such a thing, and my first reactions is to be
mildly skeptical for various reasons, starting with the fact that
many dances can be set as either Becket or improper depending on
where in the sequence you start the A1 music. But you seem to be
pretty thoughtful about this stuff, so rather than going on in a
skeptical vein, I think I'll learn more by asking you to explain
in more detail what you had in mind.
Thanks.
