That should work. Nice work on the comment stuff - apologies for the non
++.


BTW - the fact that bioperl-db stores each reference only once is really
good - as there are alot of sequences which refer to the same
reference. Bioperl-db not only will be a relational form of EMBL/GenBank,
but also probably be more compact on disk space. ;)
