It seems to me that what we are talking about now has (or should have!)
more to do with the interpretation of the terrible old PDB file format than
about any software convention.

It seems to me that software that must read this format should turn the
contents into something generally chemically acceptable (that is, "Cl", not
"CL", in this case) rather than foolishly propagating the error, or
accepting it in other contexts.

As for those who would write that format, fight it! :-)

The above, in my view, represents the voice of reason, and is therefore
unlikely to be generally adopted....

-P.
