You've already stated you don't care that much and are willing to let the PEP as-is be rejected. Why not remove your name and let Victor have it back? Is he not the original author? (If this is protocol just say so -- remember I'm still new to the ways of PyDev. :).

From a procedural point of view, I would say that it's entirely appropriate for a PEP to have open questions, alternatives, and options. Have it lay out the arguments pro and con and let Guido or the appointed PEP czar make the final decision. Then the PEP can be amended with those decisions, and if folks still think more needs to be done, a follow up PEP can be filed.
