[blml] Revoke then adjust to different contract

N-S play in 4H, a contract which they may have reached through use of UI. 
Ten tricks are cold, but West revokes.  After the adjustment, N-S take 11 
tricks, which is impossible without the revoke.  (E-W had taken two aces at 
the first two tricks, and West revoked later by overruffing with the high 
trump.) -620 is already a bad score for E-W, so they are still entitled to 
an adjustment.

How do you treat the revoke when awarding an adjusted score, if you adjust 
to a different contract?

For example, if you adjust to 3H, and the play would go the same, do you 
award +200/-200?

If you adjust to 5C, and the same ten tricks are available, do you award 11 
tricks for +600/-600, or 10 tricks for -100/+100, or compromise by giving 
the matchpoint score for -100/+100, minus the difference between -620 
and -650 for E-W and plus the same difference for N-S?

If you adjust to 3S by E-W, which makes three for -140/+140, how do you 
account for the revoke?
