I think this should be also standarized in WB Prot III -> IMO it's a good idea that the engine sends the score out of it's point of view... if that is standard any GUI can implement an option to show it like the user wants... afaik in every protocol I know the score is shown from the point of view of the engine and the GUI decides then what to do with it...
