I agree with Peter and Martin that removing the plain text parser is maybe too
much. Although I further agree that there is benefit in having the plain text
parser, I am not sure if Biopython should ensure supporting every small format
change that NCBI might come up with in the future.
I use XML and tabular output only, BTW.
