Default Malvaceae s.l.

A fairly obvious splittist classification would have Byttneriaceae,
Grewiaceae, Tiliaceae, Dombeyaceae, Sterculiaceae, Helicteriaceae and
Brownlowiaceae (or whatever are the correct names according to ICBN), and
however one splits up Malvatheca. When you say ten families I guess that
they have Malvaceae (extended to include Pentaplaris, Uladendron and
Camptostemon), Matisiaceae and Bombacaceae. This still leaves
Ochroma+Patinoa, Septatheca and Fremontodendreae in the air.

Pretty close.
They don't have Dombeyaceae, Grewiaceae or Matisiaceae.
Instead they have Durionaceae, Pentapetaceae and Sparrmanniaceae
PvR

Pentapetaceae presumably equals Dombeyoideae and Sparrmanniaceae
Grewioideae. Durionaceae presumably means that they've chopped the
Kubitzki and Bayer Helicteroideae into 2?

That would seem to leave Bombacaceae paraphyletic.
