That would be my worry. That we'd print SP or TB or whatever, and users would come back and complain it's not valid SMILES using Open Eye or ChemDraw or somesuch. That's why I suggested making it optional. If you'd prefer to recommend the opposite (i.e., it's an option to turn it off), I'm open to opinions. >> And I'd start with 2.3.0 only giving SP stereo if 3D coordinates are present. > ... or if the input was SMILES with SP specified!
