You were right with this. And if mmCIF currently is the only choice and 
the behaviour with CML is as intended and not a bug I can adapt to this 
and use mmCIF.

I want to import network data (connection information and node type 
information) and then translate this within Jmol into hetero atom and 
bond information, determine suitable coordinates for the atoms, and 
build model data that Jmol can then load from a variable and that Jmol 
can save and that Jmol (and maybe also other programs) can reload.
Essential for this would be to be able to specify the following atom 
properties:
1) atom number
2) atom name
3) residue name
4) model number
5) chain id
6) atom coordinates

In the future maybe also the 'residue number' might be useful. But 
currently all residues will only have a single atom. So it wouldn't 
provide any extra information that the 'atom number' not already provides.

No. Within Jmol I don't need any extra information. (see above)
