"re" implementing is a great way to find additional bugs and compare
strategies. This (to this point) took me two days. And if I started with a
"libRS" in Java, I would still have to modify it extensively to fit Jmol.
That said, I wouldn't mind taking a look at how other have implemented it.

In the mean time, is it OK for me to continue this discussion without libRS?

Q: What do you say for the stereochemistry of [13CH@@]12C3C1.C2=CC3  ?

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
