the dates are stored as an arry of strings, why don't
read the whole line instead of just the date? I'll do
this in Bio::SeqIO::swiss, if you don't disagree.

Then i have another suggestion for extending the
Bio::Annotation::Comment object which for now has
only the $comment->text method:
how about $comment->special, which is undefined for
normal comments but describes the type of comment
for special comment blocks ?

Could that make a difference from ca. 38000 to ca. 43000 ??

i have a solution for that:
$ref->start and $ref->end are stored, but also the whole
RP line in $ref->rp. and when writing we just print out
$ref->rp...
