Would using an OrderedDict be neater? i.e. Preserve any user
given order or whatever there was when parsing. This would
allow ad-hoc conventions like the ID is first to be observed
(or whatever the user preferred).

We'll be dropping Python 2.5 support shortly so that isn't a
problem - and in any case we 're already bundling a backport
of OrderedDict under Bio._py3k so you could use that if
needed:

from Bio._py3k import OrderedDict
