Right, I should have been more clear about that. This is far beyond the scope of the OpenBabel 2.3 release! It's a whole new project. I'm not sure how to answer your original question. I like the idea of normalizing metallocenes because they're causing us problems now. But if we do that, we've started down the path to a more general normalization standard, but without planning it thoroughly. Once you declare that OB is going to normalize metallocenes, it's hard to change your mind later. So I don't have a yes or no answer and I'm curious what others think.
