Sorry to not be concrete in this suggestion, but point is:
Avoid anyone thinking that allowing more than 3 (or even all) candidates to get ranked doesn't solve any of IRV's issues. It should be a side note that IRV calculation and voting is screwy enough to lead to this limitation being common.
This is an implementation detail that is insightful but is not at the heart of the issues.
