Subject: Assigning a non-zero score to a draw by repetition

I was wondering if it is correct to assign a zero score to a position that is a
draw by 3 fold repetition.
What I mean is that if for example white is ahead in material and black is
fighting desperately for a draw, black will try to reach that drawn position as
quick as possible while white will try to postpone that position as much as it
can.
It's a sort of distance to mate but in this case it is a distance to draw by
repetition.
Does this make any sense to you?
I would appreciate your comments.

Brest regards,
Alvaro Cardoso
