CIF: Getting a structure drawing program to create a "legal" CIF?

Getting a structure drawing program to
create a "legal" CIF?

I am helping Jean Laugier add CIF exporting to
the Gretep for Windows structure drawing software.
(Jean received help from I.D. Brown adding CIF
capability for importing CIF)  I am mainly 
helping out in a testing capacity.

However, in trying to create a CIF file that
programs like WinGX and Platon are happy with
is prooving tiresome.  As we keep finding out 
by trial and error - missing keywords that 
cause the very high quality WinGX CIF importer 
to barf.

Thus my query is - what extra information would
it take before a decent CIF importer will be
friendly to this style of file?  Example given below.

(If there is not an easy answer for this - perhaps
the crystallographic world should stick with
Shelx INS as the defacto "standard" structure
format for swapping structure co-ordinates
around? )

Lachlan.
