I see your point (I'm thinking 'aloud' for Miguel's benefit too, since he posed the 
question): Connectivity could be established w/o considering the bond lengths 
themselves: [Ga1 O2 x.xx(x)] for example would fill the connectivity with bonds btwn 
any of the Ga1 and O2 positions, but x.xxA condition would limit those bonds to near 
atoms. 

The uncertainties in position and bond length(x) would have no particular 
representation or function in display, right?
