The answer is "Yes" to the question "are there any plans...".
It is "no" to the question that wasn't asked, which is "is this already
possible" :-)

Certainly, we plan to have this properly depicted and double bond
stereochemistry is one of the easier parts.

As I wrote in
http://www.steinbeck-molecular.de/steinblog/index.php/2007/08/14/structure-diagram-generation-sdg-2d-layout-in-the-chemistry-development-kit-part-1/
the cdk sdg part will be re-factored.
What we need is a wish-list. I'll set one up.

Cheers,
