The preamble, in my eyes, is still not part of the
resolution. It is a preamble to the resolution, and won't be on
vote.d.o.
It is, however, possible that a rteolution may have an
introductory section, which is part of the resolution.

The draft ballot is not an issue.
What is an issue is that a sloppy proposal mail may have
mislead the sponsors to believe that a preamble was an introductory
section, or vice versa. Hard to know unless the proposors and ponsors
are clear about their intent.
