Why not drop the 'V'? Three-letter acronyms
are better than 4, I think, and the 'V' is
redundant given the context.
I do have some concern about the potential for
confusion if we use an acronym like IRRV or IRR
that's so similar to IRV. Will some people
believe that advocates of IRR are really
advocating IRV? Will people believe the
methods have similar properties?
