I think your idea of having a common "role" is a good one but I wondered if we 
could use the term "query" for the sequence that is to be aligned (i.e. the EST 
in your example) and "subject" for the reference sequence ?

I also wondered why the hsp hits could not be nested within the overall 
alignment tags ?...probably that is opening a whole can of worms though....
