As a community, I don't think we should support *breaking* an existing, well-established data format over something as trivial as the coordinate system used. There are much bigger issues with sgf, such as not being able to follow a teaching review that jumps around nodes. What I would support is a new standard that was backwards compatible with existing tools. -Jeff _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
