I'd support revising the instructions to recommend that voters rank all
options on the ballot.

I don't support mandating it.
If someone doesn't rank an option I'd rather accept a ballot than reject
it.
If someone wrote a patch to warn people if they sent in a not fully
ranked ballot, I'd also support that.
I just prefer to accept as many votes as we can rather than
disenfranchising people.
But I agree that fully ranking the ballot is likely to avoid surprises.
