Another FASTQ topic.

Should we try to understand FASTQ identifiers. There are some standard 
identifiers with meaningful elements that could be useful for reporting 
or subsetting FASTQ data.

Can we agree on how to parse those and what they can be used for?

What other naming conventions are in common use e.g. for non-SOlexa 
instruments?

regards,

Peter
