Chemistry fix up should make sub/superscripts staggered

From stackexchange:

International and various national standards (e.g. ISO 80000, DIN 1338) do not agree with the typographic disaster of the staggered notation that was introduced in Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry – IUPAC Recommendations 2005 (Red Book). The standardized notation still is aligned

Nevertheless, the current IUPAC recommendations as well as the ACS Style Guide stagger the subscript and superscript.

MathCAT is currently making them simultaneous. I should switch them to being staggered. This probably affects not only canonicalization, but also rule matching. In particular, the Nemeth and maybe UEB rules would likely need to change.
