Partial scoring on Matching questions?

Doesn't look like this is available out of the box. Has anyone got a workaround/clever trick to score matching questions better than all right or all wrong?

I have an idea how to do that with custom questions. But how do you want the partial scoring to happen?

I'm open to anything. I was thinking about these two cases:

Simple one-to-one match:

Match three sets (one from each column) for a total of 6 points. 2 points for one correct match, 4 for two, all 6 for matching all three sets correctly.

More complex one-to-many match:

Match multiple items on one side to a single item on the other. Example columns:

Category 1

Category 2

Category 3

Item A

Item B

Item C

Item D

Item E

Say the correct answer is 1 = A & B, 2 = C, and 3 = D & E. Here, the question is worth 10 points, based on a 2 points per Item score.

Do you have to report to a LMS?

If it is one-to-one, and only three sets, how can someone have two correct matches? If he has one wrong, necessarily he has a second wrong. So only 1 or 3 can be correct. And similar issues for other number of sets. But to construct a custom question will be easy. Do you want both drag&drop and dropdown lists? Dropdown can be done out of the box, D&D will need the Interactive widget from InfoSemantics, which is not suited for HTML5 output until now.

Scoring system for the more complex system is more straighforward.
