Except a dual vote is probably not going to work in favour of strict vs. weak.

Why would anyone who wants purely strict vote for "Yes (strict)", when
they know that "Yes (weak)" is going to have the majority. It boils
down to voting Yes for something you don't want. I don't think it will
convert votes at all. _If_ I wanted _strict only_ and I was presented
with "Yes (strict)", "Yes (weak)", and "No" and could see the weak
vote winning by a clear margin, I would vote No.
