I agree. But since Jmol will be used for teaching purposes, I was thinking
that it might be better to avoid a format which was 'less acceptable' to
IUPAC, etc.

That is correct.
I need to calculate which side is dotted. And it changes depending upon
the rotation of the model.

It probably won't be difficult to do, but I was looking/hoping for an easy
solution :-)
