    Are JavaScript bindings for this available? Or will that be added later?

    Already there. See postpoll.js for an example of how to create a multiple-answer poll. The same "votes" header property used in a ballot is used in a multi-answer poll (but for a different purpose).

    I'm mostly interested in how to answer a multi-answer poll. What different purpose does the votes property have for a multi-answer poll? Can the votes property have a bit set for each user's answer?

    In a poll message, the "votes" property specifies the maximum number of answers/votse per ballot (0 is the equivalent of 1).

    Can the votes
    property have a bit set for each user's answer?

    Exactly, that's how it works now with single-answer polls too. Just with a multiple-answer poll, the user can toggle multiple answers (up to the maximum specified by the pollster).

    I'll work on updating SlyVote to support that. I should be able to this week/weekend.
