From the pgn standard I learnt that you are right. There is not even a
suggestion for a visual representation.
But I think you missed my point (or, rather, I failed to make it), in
that the dialogue (suggesting "++-") and the implementation (requiring
"+--") are not consistent. So my text was just an invitation to make a
choice.
I think I feel a slight preference for "++-" (and "-++"). Having said
that, we may not have that much choice, actually. We should at least
continue to "understand" what is we have now ("+--" and "--+") as these
symbols can be found in PGN stuff that we currently export. We could add
some alternative to this (or should correct the informant value dialogue
text).
I do respect any choice. Cheers,
Joost.
