It simply means the TB3-TB20 tags are not documented and their meaning
is unknown. Examples (i.e. 2D/3D structure + smiles), would allow us
to determine the meaning but I have never seen a smiles with TB or OH
tag.

a...@tb0](b)(c)(d)e  means viewing from a to e, bcd are clockwise
a...@tb1](b)(c)(d)e  means viewing from a to e, bcd are counter-clockwise

The 20 available tags probably alternate like this with a different
axis. With 5 ligands, there are 10 possible axis combinations:

ae
ad
ac
ab
be
bd
bc
ce
cd
de

However, the order remains unknown. For the 30 octahedral combinations
a similar reasoning can be followed.

Since the documentation is lacking and no known (open) implementation
exists, we could just specify the meaning in the OpenSMILES
specification. Ideally the definition would be identical to the
original daylight definition though.
