   If we include an (optional) format we come closer to the EMBOSS's
Uniform Sequence Address, which is a good thing.
   I am still not sure about the "-na-" part in your example. It would be
useful if we have/use somewhere a mixed list of identifiers identifying
different objects. Is there a use case for such set?
