Don't get me wrong - I trust the ORCA code. It's just that I don't
want to spend the time now to increase the number of attributes
parsed. Rather I would like us to focus on getting out a release. By
using svnmerge.py we can keep the branches up to date with the trunk,
so that PyMOlyze, for example, loses none of the capabilities of the
trunk. However, I feel that releasing the ORCA parser now, and
publicising it, without more coverage of attributes would not the best
idea.

I find myself short of time, and feel that the more we put in the
trunk, the further away the release date will move.

As ever, if you feel strongly now's the time to say it...
