Pretty much yeah, this is what I found most logical of the options given 
by the WFSTs when talking about this interpretation before.

Consistency is definitely an important issue, not the least as I just 
came from intensive two weeks of teaching this stuffs. I'm not sure 
which is the best solution though, another possibility would be not to 
re-use the @w attribute with different interpretation but to create a 
new @p (penalty) for the concept.

Exactly, and for a GSOC project, we should probably have documentation
as a part of final things to do, I believe there is some already in the
wiki even?
