> in mmCIF = ATOM   10   H  HG11  . VAL A 1 1   ? -3.462 15.657 17.717
> 1.00 27.83 ? ? ? ? ? 1   VAL A 1HG1  1

I observe that the PDB file calls is '1HG1' and the mmCIF file calls it
'HG11'.

Please comment on the following proposal:
 * Jmol will support the 'HG11' version
 * The Jmol pdbReader code will convert atom names that
   match the following format:
     <digit> H <alpha> <digit> -> H <alpha> <digit> <digit>

Justification:
 * No reason to promote the pdb format
 * No reason to promote poor/incorrect nomenclature
 * I think this is a practical solution

I think that the alternative is to do nothing ... the parser is not going
to be fixed in the short term.
