The DT lines are currently ignored, please file an enhancement bug.
This is complicated by the fact the GenBank files have only one date,
and the EMBL parser shares a lot of code with the GenBank parser.

Could you be a bit more precise about missing database cross references?
i.e. What line type are you looking for?

Thanks.
