> 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.
