For small committee elections, the NPL & NML criteria would
add something to the Condorcet & GMC criteria, by limiting
choice to unbeaten alternatives when they exist. But Condorcet's
method, if it's used, would automatically do that.
Certainly adding a requirement that NML be met would improve
on Smith//Random, and on a lot of methods, like Plurality
& IRO. It would be another example of mitigation of a bad
method by requiring compliance with a good criterion.
About the other versions, I have to look at them some more.
