That's right. We could make it available in JSmol, but I'd rather not.
These files can get VERY large (50-100MB easily), and without FileWriter
API (almost no browsers supporting this yet), that would require a
round-trip to a server. Besides, where would you store it on your iPad? :)
Any page utilizing JSmol/HTML can simply also use JSmol/Signed Java Applet
for these purposes.
