That summarizes it nicely.
One tiny detail is the exact definition of score:
The two main candidates are
1) the difference of B area minus W area
2) the pair of (B area, W area)
Does 1) suffice or are there cases where the extra information in 2) is useful?
A further alternative is to include the komi in the above, but I think
it's cleaner to focus on the board score. The arbiter will then take komi into
account to decide the winner.
