I've remained silent as this thread evolved into a discussion of how the PDB deals with water names and numbers. But Nat's comment about the PDB not advertising itself as anything other than an archival service finally prodded me into saying something. Something I've slowly come to realize is

In PDB format files, each polymer is assigned a unique chain ID. Chain IDs for all bound moieties and waters are assigned based on their proximity (number of contacts) to the nearest polymer. Once the polymers and non-polymer residues associated with them are assigned chain IDs, they are also
