X'plain yourself Sir Robin! ;-)
Mills' ground state orbitals are spherical. In QM the electron travels radially frequently passing through the nucleus. I think the latter is the norm, but I think "Bohr like" orbitals are possible, and occasionally happen (see Rydberg orbitals). IOW I don't think Millsian spherical orbitals are ruled out, I just don't think they are common. However under the right circumstances, I think an H atom can be convinced to occupy such an orbital.
