Nobody has addressed the fact that mmCIF is a format
that allows for many ways of presenting the same data. The
recent discussions seem to be based on the assumption that
all mmCIF files will look like those currently prepared by
the PDB.
Any code that reads an mmCIF file should be prepared to
read any file that meets the mmCIF specifications. This
requires the use of software tools and it may not be possible
to use a simple script that works against PDB mmCIF entries
to read arbitrary mmCIF files.
Or are people saying/hoping/redefining that mmCIF will
turn into a fixed column/field format?
