After doing a bit of research (talking to Jeff Headd) I find that indeed the
convention has changed.  The new format for the hydrogen names are indeed Hx2
and Hx3.  

<grumble>Oh dear oh dear, this is going to be a nightmare...  I wonder if the
PDB have any idea what problems they have caused...  I spoke to Ralf recently,
he says (IIUC) that they map input pdb names to the new format on reading the
coordinates and then *re-map* the atom names to make them match the dictionary.
 Urgh!  And I will have to do the same...</grumble>

Paul.
