entirely likely; I haven't looked at this at all for several years, so
there may well be several unofficial changes which have been undocumented
and which I have forgotten.

I've put an image at http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/cbf/infl_1_001.img

I can't remember if direct beam co-ordinates were part of the
specification; they would be useful (and are reliable on most synchrotron
beamlines if not at home labs). At present I don't have the code in Mosflm
to use them from CBFs, but it wouldn't take long to make the change.

P.S. I put the patch in for "cbfwrap.c" which you mentioned the other day.
