I like that.   I also agree that this protocol is superior.
I'm not overly concerned with whether the agreement is about score or dead 
stones,  I'm happy with either.

I'm not sure it is absolutely necessary to have the special 
resolve-disagreement-genmove command, since a program can infer this from the 
fact of multiple passes.    But I can see why some might feel it is better to 
be explicit.   It seems slightly cleaner and simpler not to have the extra 
command but it's nothing I would lose any sleep over either way.
