I haven't got around to describing or implementing Landau on those pages
yet, but Smith and Schwartz are implemented.  When the two sets are equal,
only the Smith set is reported.  Try

A>C>B>F>D>E
B>C>E>F>D>A
D>B>A>F>E>C
E>A>B>C>F>D
E>D>A>B>C>F
F>C>D>A>B>E

or

A>C>D>E>B
B>A>C>E>D
B>A>E>D>C
D>C>E>B>A

and click "Calculate all winners" for examples of the sets' differing.
