[Bioperl-l] question about SeqIO and BSML DTD

Hi,
It looks like the current (1.2.2) bioperl bsml functions are set up to use 
the BSML 2.2 DTD.  I would like to use the 3.1 DTD instead.  Is there some 
easy way to have things like SeqIO create BSML output using the 3.1 DTD? 
I'm not sure how the internal handling of all the DTD stuff works, but I 
do see that the DTD URL is hard-coded in bsml.pm to be 
"http://www.labbook.com/dtd/bsml2_2.dtd". 

It would be wonderful if it were as easy as changing that!  But, I won't 
hold my breath!

I'm doing some experimentation with converting sequences from formats such 
as Genbank into BSML, and this makes it really simple.

Please reply to this email address and not just to the list, as I don't 
subscribe to it.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Susan Cassidy
