ICSD-for-WWW http://barns.ill.fr/dif/icsd/ also calculates bond valence
sums when you ask for the structure to be drawn. See:
http://barns.ill.fr/dif/icsd/icsd_bonds.html#Bonds In fact the calculation
is trivial if you have a list of all the bond lengths and the table of
empirical parameters for the various ion-pairs.

Be a little careful in interpreting the bond valence sums, as David Brown
himself points out in: J.Solid State Chem. 82, 122. "Valence sum rule
calculations for YBa2Cu3O7." This paper may be a little too pessimistic :-)
but it is true that ions in general must occupy positions that may not be
the ideal size. Be particularly careful with calculations at higher
temperatures. Incidentally, these bond valence ideas were originally by
Pauling and Zachariasen.
