Well, why is broken-wp more accurate than wp-inverted? Strictly
speaking the WP is there and working, it's just tied off to some value
you want to have interpreted the other way.
Anyway, seems like this is solvable with wp-inverted and whether the
additional quirk is needed I leave to others do decide.
