There is a more recent work than Wallace's that deals exhaustively with the
Granville-Sharp Rule. Greg Stafford, in his new book "Jehovah's Witnesses
Defended - An Answer to Scholars and Critics", (1998), 221-248 refers to and
commends Wallace on his research, and then further demonstrates the
eligibility of "quasi-proper names" (name from Kuehne) in the category of #3
above for exclusion under the Granville-Sharp Rule. This extensive treatment
is presented in the chapter "Excursus - The Significance of Article-Noun-Kai-
Noun Constructions In Passages Relating to the Divinity of Christ." I
recommend you include this reading in your research.
