The reason I asked this is that I'm wondering if perhaps both the 
convention Fairbairn mentioned and the convention others here have 
mentioned might be both practiced, or perhaps the two conventions are no 
in conflict.

My follow up questiong is whether, after the furigoma, the two sides 
trade their kings if the player holding the king general is awarded 
sente through the furigoma (this is just a purely speculative question, 
as I've never actually seen such trading of kings.)
