Hm -- this is actually what I wanted to caution, too -- so certainly 
no disagreement in this respect.

This sounds right. I guess I was and probably still am somewhat 
confused as to what Michael wanted as the result, since Genbank FT 
isn't hierarchical (or am I missing something?).

If it's just about flattening the feature tree such that features 
and their subfeatures all show up in the feature table, wouldn't 
looping  over $seq->all_SeqFeatures() instead of 
$seq->top_SeqFeatures() do the job as well?

If my comments indicate that I don't seem to understand what this is 
about then ignore me ... it's not a big deal.
