I'm writing a web page right now, on which I call MMPO "Minimum Opposition,"
and CDTT "Equal Majorities" (to be in the same vein as "Maximize Affirmed
Majorities"). In my opinion the word "minimum" should be kept, so that it
sounds more formal. I think LU certainly won't work, since inevitably it
would be referred to as "the Least Unpreferred method."

I think it's a reasonable complaint (due to the defection/cooperation
implications), but for me, it's not a deal-breaker.
