I tried to question wether it is now done as Miguel once told me he had in 
mind... that Jmol is a viewer component only. And JmolViewer sounds like 
exactly this component... sort of split between 'model' and 'view'...

But it sounds now that the viewer is not just a viewer but a data storage 
too... which is not that strange since Miguel had to come up with a very 
efficient data model...

And actually... Jmol does have this model-view split a bit... because we have 
the adapter...

So, from the above mind experiment...

  "Saving should be done by extracting info from the adapter and not the
   viewer"

However, I'm not completely sure wether the viewer contains additional 
information we might need for saving some certain file formats, like POV...

Miguel, what do you think?
