Before implemeting this scoring, I took contact with Steve G3UFY, and he 
wrote me (I quote) :

So, if you are a fixed station, you are supposed to work portable 
stations *ONLY*, and the fixed station will give you 0 points. (Hint : 
Don't work them ;-) )

BTW, this rules applies also for the other scoring methods (REF, DARC etc.).

Definitely. It is related to the new documentation process. It was 
described in the release post.
