Let me get this straight.  I think you are saying that IdiotBot actually
knew the stones were dead and correctly said so.   But HouseBot didn't 
speak up for itself nor did it bother to capture the dead stones and 
the only way for the server to resolve this is to assume everything is 
alive.

I think this is correct and how it should be done if I'm understanding
it correctly    

I like the protocol, because you don't have to implement it,
but if you don't you should clean up opponents dead stones before
passing.
