Hello there,

before we go ahead and commit this, just want to double-check. There are
tons of swissprot entries that have as part of the big @class array in
classification string names that don't start with a capital letter like
'eurosids II'. 

Am I right to say that the consensus still is that if there are tons of
records breaking a rule we fix our parsers rather than say "it ain't
correct"?

We would simply change

/^[A-Z][\sa-z]+$/

to /^[\sa-z]+$/ 

Ok?
