Sorry that this is kinda off, but is should NPOV be treated gramatically as a noun, or a adj-noun phrase? I just like to write grammatically, and that your post sounded weird. I always assumed NPOV should be treated as a noun.
It depends on the context.
Our policy called "NPOV" is a noun but that term is also used as an adjective ("This article is NPOV" ; tc hates this usage) or a verb ("I'll try to NPOV the article").

I think what threw the previous poster off was the phrase "perfectly NPOV," which is actually grammatically correct, as may be more clearly seen if the acronym is replaced: "perfectly neutral point of view." *Perfectly* is an adverb modifying the adjective *neutral*.
At least that's my impression.
