OK, that makes sense. Most importantly, at least the last time I talked
with them, which was last summer, while they are eager to develop this
further, developing a scripting language is not in their schema. So you get
a model, but there's not a lot you can do with it. For example, you can't
say "spin on" -- or at least you couldn't this past summer. Admittedly, for
some applications that is just fine. It's just not very flexible.
The developer of a serious ChemDoodle 3D application, as far as I can see,
has to be a cracker-jack JavaScript programmer to make this work. So their
target audience is institutional gurus who set up intranets and such with
dedicated and homogeneous equipment.
I just don't see us going in that direction. There are other solutions that
port Java to a different sort of code, like we did with the Android, and
that is more likely the way to go with the Apple iOS, I think.

data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
