I don't think the standard specifies what the "seldepth" is supposed to mean,
and I don't think xx and yy have the above meaning in all UCI engines.

In Gothmog, I use them in approximately the way you describe.  xx is the
iteration number (which in my engine is not quite the same as "depth
without extensions", because my search is not even close to fixed-depth),
while yy is the longest line searched in the main search.
