> Should we require positive scores?

> Having worked on MAXSCORE recently, things would be simpler if we required
> that scores are positive. Practically, this would mean
> - forbidding/fixing similarities that may produce negative scores (we have
> some of them)
> - forbidding things like negative boosts
> So I'd be curious to have opinions whether this would be a sane requirement
> or whether we need to be able to cope with negative scores eg. because some
> similarities that we want to support produce negative scores by design.
