With respect to the original question, my response would be: a) The :MMI values are readily available, so using them is pragmatic.
b) As discussed in Fabien's paper, a method that does not depend on the RMT is to use the Bader volume. In the latest Wien2k you can get this from the first number after :RHOTOT in outputaim after using "x aim -dn". (The user guide does not describe well what this does; it uses the total density Bader volume then integrates up-dn in this volume.) c) A third method is to spin-resolve the Bader volume, i.e. use "x aim -d", edit case.clmsum to case.clmup in aim.def, then run "aim aim.def". This gives noticeably different results from b) as expected -- the spin-resolved Bader volumes of up & dn are in general different. d) Rigorously, similar to what Gerhard said in his first response, you have to consider what the experiment measures. For instance, in XMCD using core electrons it is some weight of these. Here the Bader results are probably worse than using the values in the RMT. In summary, my view is that the only really correct method is to match what the experiment measures.
