Territory scoring plus dead and captured stones is a bad idea. Contrast: to count by Tromp-Taylor rules, play out and explicitly kill (or agree to remove) all dead stones, fill every empty intersection that only reaches black with black, fill every empty intersection that only reaches white with white, then simply count up black and white stones on the board. Simple ko is a bad idea. Positional superko is much better. Seki complicates things needlessly. Relying on historical rulings, rather than defining unambiguous rules, is a bad idea.
