The definitions of Va and other terms do change slightly from time to time, which may be why current AFMs don't seem to mention Vo
Vo is a "recent" change - introduced in the late 90s IIRC. The change was due to the difference between the "pilot" and "engineer" understanding of Va - Vo is closer to the (incorrect) concept of Va that I was taught as a pilot.
