:::::::::::I disagree, but let's test the support for all versions. Discussion has been so convoluted that I'm hesitant to compile a definitive list for an RfC. Perhaps editors could assist by putting up the versions they have identified?    

 == RfC Candidate versions of lede == 
 Discussion has grown heated above, but it seems there is strong support for a change to the long-standing lede, which describes Queen Elizabeth II as queen of 16 nations all at once, without identifying any order of precedence or importance. There have been various versions proposed in discussion, but I'd like to sort out a definitive listing ahead of an RfC. Let's have some wikiprocess instead of shouting and stamping our feet and edit-warring.    

 1. (Longstanding version)
