Doublet Replies: Rules for beginners

For beginner doublets, I've resisted the temptation to use Nactation and tolerated traditional. However, it seems to me that destination-only suffices, and for two checkers it can be done either with (for example) "5(2)" or "5pt" (the latter saves a character and it's easier to read).
43S-11N is -.0419, but I've left it in for now. (I suppose that means the current doublets threshold is .042, though its still .06-ish for the full set including non-doublets.) If you want that thorn removed, you can add "or 43S" at the end of 11a.
I found your double 4s rules hard to follow.
I prefer listing the candidate plays in order of hierarchy, rather than the plurality play (with no "a" or "b") followed by exceptions.
Does the following rule set work? (Point-On-Head or * is a must-hit, otherwise hit is incidental.)

Below is what it looks like if "pt" is replaced "p" in each case, and the space between two-point plays is removed. I slightly prefer this. (It doesn't work well if you keep the "t" because it is too tall a letter, making the second of the two numbers less legible.)
