It simply means  I had an opportunity to send the message that
comparing 3D coordinates needed availability of such!

There is a sensible question  I could pose here (or to the developers).
How easily could a robot of any kind "detect"  Jmol coordinates?

It would have to parse the load entry in the script line, and that line I 
suppose is
parsable using a suitable  regex expression. Another, more explicit
way of identifying a molecule is to use  a "handle", ie
http://dx.doi.org/10042/to-116, which like the prefix implies, is similar
to a  DOI, and one name for which could be a  COI (that is still being
discussed).

So my question would be; to assist in robotic discovery,  how best
could one incorporate  any such object identifier in the  Jmol
invocation?  Or,more generally, should there  (is there?) any
explicit metadata declared to assist robotic harvesting?

The "COI" by the way derives from a Cambridge/Imperial digital
repository project.
