I know what Craig is talking about - I noticed this myself. I
understood that the change in canonical numbering was introduced to
overcome canonicalisation problems (just a few weeks ago actually).
The question is, can we have the best of both worlds - correct
canonicalisation and nice SMILES? To be honest, I'm happy with correct
canonicalisation but I guess there's no harm having both if we can.
