CML or mmCIF would help address the current question of hydrogen bond
implementation as well.  the ideal location for atomic data like occupancy,
valence, etc. is in the structure file; the viewer software should not have
to do this.  (I believe someone else, maybe Peter, said this earlier so I
just want to agree.)  hydrogen bond calculation depends on data like this.

when you talk about offloading hydrogen bond calculation to a plugin, I am
forced to agree.  given the complexity, and the other calculations required,
maybe we can revert to a simple backbone hydrogen bonding algorithm for Jmol,
with the plugin to add hydrogens and calculate potential hydrogen bonds.

<sigh>


in any case, what file formats does Jmol plan to support?
