It is not my intention to sound confrontational. I really don't know
how other rule sets deal with tricky situations.

For long-cycle repetitions:
Japanese:      A repetition lead to "no result".  The game is replayed.
Chinese:       A player may not repeat a previous board position and
               when he does the game counts as half a win to each
               player.  (KGS interprets this as Positional Superko.)
Ing/SST:       Some repetitions are forbidden by the SST ko rule, which
               very few people understand.
AGA:           Positional Superko
Tromp-Taylor:  Positional Superko
NZ:            Situational Superko
France:        Natural Situational Superko

Suicide is permitted by Ing/SST, Tromp-Taylor and NZ rules, and forbidden by the others listed above.
