Regarding the inconsistent use tuples for _hsp.identities, positives, and gaps
- I would like all the parsers NCBIStandalone and NCBIXML (and ideally the HTML
parser too) to return identical record objects.

To do this, we could either:

(a) change NCBIXML to use tuples instead of integers (as suggested by Jacob)

or,

(b) change NCBIStandalone to use simple integers instead of tuples (is this
what you meant in comment 3 Michiel?)

Choice (b) would seem simpler in the long term - but would probably break more
existing code.  Also, users of NCBIXML are going to have to update their
scripts anyway after bug 2051, so choice (a) would distrupt less people.
