Just to let you know that we are getting close to an updated version of Jmol in Sage. We may be able to deal with your request this summer. Take a look at this Trac ticket. We're looking for feedback on the new Jmol interface. Add your request to the trac. My gut feeling however is that it will get parsed out to a new trac after we get the basic interface working well.
