Both options are fine with me. Note however that if you work with a format like "C>A=D>B" you will probably get a lot of emails that are not according to the standard and perhaps even undecypherable.

If I'd have too choose between non-anonymous voting and a voting with the possibility of people voting twice, I'd definitely prefer the former. Anyway, does it matter much if the voting is not anonymous?

Excellent. One question though: would this mean that a voter has to express his opinion about all 22 flags? What happens if you only "do" the first five flags of your preference? Oh, and one suggestion: place the flags in a table instead, so that the page will show two flags next to each other. And use a table border too, so that it becomes clear immediately which label belongs to which flag.
