J89's pass-for-ko: Misinterpreted in the Western Go World?

[jann]

The English translation is misleading.
The statement about "agreement" ... is a clarification to the 2nd explanation (２　対局停止後での「駄目詰め」、「手入れ」は規定外) of 9-2, which states that damezume is not defined in the rules. ... That is, because damezume is not defined

... according to Google translate, you mean. (But even that makes a better work once you copy the text out instead of in-page)

The real meaning for kitei-gai here matches the English version by Davies (added informally, out-of-regulation).
