Is the Credentials Committee only bound to accept or reject seating the delegates, or do they have the power to implement a compromise solution?

I don't like either of the two currently presented options--seating the delegates as is, or having a revote. I am really bothered by a revote, but it is not because I am an Obama supporter, and not because I want to disenfranchise anyone. What bothers me about a revote is that it will basically reward the states for breaking the rules, giving them even more influence than they were originally trying for. How about this as an option:

No revote. Use the existing primary results, and award Obama the Uncommitted delegates in Michigan, BUT penalize each state by cutting their delegations in half, and also by stripping the votes of the superdelegates from the two states.
