I can appreciate that a top level property is easier to use - and perhaps
quality scores are important enough to justify this.  However, what about PHRED
qualities versus Solexa/Illumina qualities, or another sequencing system's
scheme?

I've replied in more depth on the mailing list, where I suggest we discuss
