  • BC 22:21, 21 July 2009 (EDT): I don't there is a need for a bidirectional RBS symbol, I've never seen one of those. I would make the empty lozenge into the forward RBS and keep the one with a minus for the reverse RBS. Alternatively, make the RBS an asymmetric shape so the directionality doesn't need to be an annotation - perhaps oval at the upstream end and squared off a the downstream end (e.g a reverse RBS would be an elongated D).
