A suggestion regarding unranked candidates

A friend of mine came up with a good idea. He doesn't agree that
unranked candidates should be tallied as if the voter ranked them
last. He said he'd like to be able to explicitly rank some horrible
candidates after the unranked:
A > B > C > the unranked masses > G > H > I
I don't think it would be hard to implement this on ballots. It
doesn't appear to complicate the explanations much, but I'm not
certain about this.
Note to Bruce: it would necessitate a minor change in my definition
of the p(i,j) term.
