In the power symbols I use there are no net labels so each pin can be
attached anywhere.

For the logic parts I put all of the power symbols with their decoupling caps in
one section of the schematic. If you use a script to connect up the
power how do you communicate the connection information to the person
viewing the schematic?
It seems like it could get confusing in a system with multiple
isolated supplies.
