"elegant" is an aspect of art, and I have not studied it profoundly in 
relation to rules yet because I concentrate on things that can be 
derived from definitions and evaluated by objective derivation from them.

Some consider it elegant to play on until the board is filled with 
2-liberty strings - others consider it elegant to stop playing at the 
Japanese opinion of what worthless moves are (but symmetrical yose is 
not considered worthless by them).

So you see, "elegance" depends on which definition one chooses.
