First of all, I thought the standard is completed and finished already.

Your're right about your view of modern computers. They are quite fast. And
it is possible to do what you tell me (keep a board position at each tree or
keep internal records). And I am doming this in Jago, of course. However, it
is just so unnecessary with a little care in the standards. A good idea
would be to save AE[jj] as AE[jj:w] or similar to indicate the removal of a
white stone.

As to the comments. Yes, there are soft comments. These are as unnecessary
as compressed point lists in my oppinion. For SGF are not meant to be human
readable. If you agree with me that a line (many soft-broken) consists of
what is normally regarded a wrappable paragraph, I go with you.

Rene.
