If by this you mean that pages with the old style <params> will no longer
work with Jmol, this would be complete disaster.   We have submitted 
supporting information to journals.  Users can download this and replace
the Jmol there with a more recent version.  If this causes those pages  to 
break, 
this would be highly unfortunate.   

So, please please do not not remove the load name in particular!
