the referee require the above plus:
how many games do you wish to play
items such as how to record the game (sgf, ishi, etc)
engines themselves may require other options which are usually quite
idiosyncratic and we don't touch that:
logging
data files
style of play
etc.

also, as gunnar has noted, the transmission protocol itself deals with
error correction
---
issues like cr & crlf can be finessed by requiring an end statement,
such as semi-colon, so that cr & crlf can be ignored. but then
it isn't quite so elegant. but then what is the goal of the text:
ie it seems that you want some sort of readability in the protocol, but
why?
