  Is there a need for an HTTP parser for LocusLink in addition to the 
flat file?  I'd especially like to have Sagar's perspective because he 
is a user.

  Although memory is cheap in places like Boston and California, 
biopython has an international user base.  Researchers from emerging 
technologies  may not have the resources to store flat files locally. 
 An alternate solution for public domain databases might be mindyized 
mirror sites.
