You proposed wv, but only in connection with the MinMax
tie-breaking strategy. You didn't propose wv in general,
since GMC isn't satisfied by other wv methods than MinMax(wv).
If you don't agree with this then please post a reference
where you propose wv before 1997 for another tie-breaking
strategy than the MinMax tie-breaking strategy.
