If I have a sulfinic acid as the tautomer in which the hydrogen is on the sulfur, openbabel's output routine correctly detects that no brackets are needed on the sulfur. But when the input routine sees such an unbracketed sulfur, it incorrectly fails to infer the hydrogen. (The output routine then correctly detects that the sulfur needs brackets to indicate its unusual state)
