A combine type rule with cutoff will look at the scores for the children as would normally be calculated for the combine rule before applying any weight.
If this unweighted score is less than the current document threshold then this rule will score 0.
If the unweighted score is greater than the document threshold then the behaviour will vary depending whether a weight is defined for the rule:
If a weight is defined then it is used to scale the (above threshold) score exactly as standard combine rule without the cutoff attribute. (ie the rule scores 0 or the same as a non cutoff combine if the unweighted score is above threshold)
If no weight is defined for the rule then the resulting score will be the threshold value itself if the unweighted score is above the threshold (ie the rule scores 0 or threshold only and no other value possible).
