There is no unified aromaticity model in chemistry. I'm not sure the 
aromaticity algorithm in Open Babel is publishable, and even if it were, there 
are numerous special cases. We have made sure in the 2.3.x release, that we can 
round-trip PubChem and ZINC, including appropriate SMILES strings. This 
requires a fairly liberal aromaticity model.

I think a better question is if you can outline some of the interoperability 
issues you run into.
