Subject: 13x13 komi

I just finished a game with [Del] and noticed that the komi for 13x13 is actually 5.5, instead of the 4.5 as stated in the rules:

black territory is 4+12+20 = 36. Black's score is 29.5, so 36-29.5 = 5.5. The score wouldn't have mattered in this case if it were 4.5 (white still wins by 0.5), but I found it a little surprising.
