Maybe that is what I was using that caused problems for me ... do not
remember.

Well, I will do some testing of XHTML-compliant tags. If it works on all
the browsers I run across, then I will amend chime2jmol.pl

If it does not, then I will add a flag to it so that those who wish to
generate xhtml-compliant tags can do so.

I am also thinking of a .js library which would make these tags simpler.
Presumably that javascript could auto-detect the browser and decide
whether or not to generate xhtml-compliant tags.

I'm sorry Egon ... I do not understand what you are saying.

If one has a servlet/cgi running on your web server then you *certainly*
don't want to put the CML inline.

If you are talking about straight .html pages, then you *must* be using
some kind of tool to generate them. In which case, who cares about how
many files there are.

And, if the model files are separate, then you can compress them with .gz.
