[EM] Bucklin/IRV hybrid? Motivated by MSV strategy

First: I'm curious what others think of MSDSV. It doesn't have unheard-of
properties, but it does seem to me that the combination of IRV and Bucklin
ideas is new; and that if others think about methods in this space there
might be something nice and easy to explain.

I'm sorry, but it seems to me that this is a particularly egregious example
of the typical mind fallacy. I believe the above is true for you, Mike, but
even though I think I share most of your terminal values I'm quite sure
it's not true for me, and I doubt it's true for most voters (in some cases,
because of different values; in other cases, because of different views of
what course of action will best pursue those values).
