Summary: No forcefield recognises SO3 as planar

Initial Comment:
I'm using SVN openbabel through git avogadro.  If SO3 (with a double S=O bond 
for each of the oxygens) is optimized, none of the available forcefields result 
in a planar shape, though ghemical gets very close, with an O=S=O angle of 
118°.  In particular, UFF results in a tetrahedral shape, even though SO3 is 
mentioned in UFF.prm.

This leads me to suspect that this is in fact a bug in the UFF implementation, 
but I am not sure.  In any case, it would be good to have at least one 
forcefield handling this case correctly.
