The PDB has just released their new format document, and among the
changes is the use of a segment identifier "to identify specific
segments of the molecule."  This had been proposed since March, and
seems now to be firm.  In order to ensure smooth conversion between
formats and to handle a concept used by X-PLOR, it would seem useful
to define an equivalent token in mmCIF.
