Oh I've seen them used in the wild... I'd rather have a parser throw an exception than have that data go through though lol

Curious. Where have you run into them (so I can run the other way :)

Same here! I did a pretty extensive search about 8 years ago for real-world examples, and no one could point to any, outside of test code to make sure that a given tool could handle these mythical files should they appear.

Hah I wouldn't worry it was a by-hand prepared sequence file of the sequence for a known structure I was emailed. The comment line had some interesting PDB data encoded :)
