What would the semantics of that 'window-min-height' entry be?

(1) When splitting a window, the new window must be at least 10 lines
    high.

(2) When splitting a window, both the old and the new window must be
    at least 10 lines high after the split.

(3) When splitting a window, every window must be at least 10 lines
    high after the split.

And what would we do if before the split a window is less high than 10
lines?

Why can't we just follow the doc-string of 'window-min-height'?

   Applications should never rebind this variable.  To resize a
   window to a height less than the one specified here, an
   application should instead call ‘window-resize’ with a non-nil
   IGNORE argument.  In order to have ‘split-window’ make a window
   shorter, explicitly specify the SIZE argument of that function.
