Please forgive the truncation: I was specifically interested in the single comment below.
Why would voters choose to rank a preferred candidate lower (rather than higher)? The lower you rank a candidate the less likely it is that your vote will go to that person (because all your higher choices have to be eliminated from contention before that lower ranked vote becomes active).

It does have some problems. Under most versions, it is possible that in a multi-candidate election a bloc of voters could deliberately rank a candidate lower than others in order to give him/her a better chance of winning.
