PDF version of H-Diplo Article Review 513 on Olga Ulianova. “Corvalán for Bukovsky: A Real Exchange of Prisoners during an Imaginary War. The Chilean Dictatorship, the Soviet Union, and US Mediation, 1973–1976.” Cold War History 14:3 (August 2014): 315-336.

I think you are failing to take into account three factors:
First, the interpretation of the principles behind Wilson's Fourteen Points leading to the readjustment of frontiers along "clearly recognizable lines of nationality" led to the movement to consolidate German-speaking Austria within a German Republic (prevented, of course by the Treaty of Saint-Germain of September 1919) - i.e., the tendency to consolidate (along national boundaries, rather than supra-national), rather than separate, that governed the peacemaker's decisions.
Clemenceau DID actively consider the partition of Germany, particularly the separation of the Rhineland. The place to start is Walter McDougall's _France's Rhineland Diplomacy_.
