I keenly await the (hopefully) consensus opinion on what we, as crystallographers, should do with residues with poor or absent side-chain density.
Antony, thanks for passing along the information. I won't hold my breath for the consensus though - this is one of the recurring discussions (myself being guilty of repeatedly stoking the fire) that never result in clear conclusion, simply because the choice here has zero effect regarding conclusions drawn from your data. It is simply a question of semantics. To get some idea if there is any indication of consensus, I've set up a survey at google docs https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dHVNa3VodUtfbVQtZ2pnUFcxQkx6RHc6MQ#gid=0 I'll post the results once it levels off - please don't vote more than once (but feel free to get your lab/family members to have a say).
