If I understand correctly your second definition, it means that all teire have been played, but not all freely playable dame. If so, I agree with Robert Jasiek's statement about low complexity of computing the score (given the status of all groups). There is no need to _estimate_ the score, and the normal scoring method on KGS (same as the CGoban2 scoring tool) is smart enough to count the territory exactly.
Could you please give an example where the final score is wrongly computed with CGoban2? Seki with eyes, hane-seki, and the 7x8 example you gave are all correctly scored AFAIK.
