I already said this, but it was buried in a long posting, and I wanted to 
say it with its own subject-line.

If the A & B voters apply ATLO below their favorite, and rank sincerely, the 
co-operation/defection dilemma in James' example doesn't happen. Defection 
is foiled. In particular, when the A voters use ATLO and vote sincerely, the 
B voters, if they truncate or order-reverse against A, can't accomplish 
anything but the election of C. They'd know that, and they wouldh't try it.
