In this sort of case, I reckon 3 is both the simplest and the sanest - if
you wanted to attach truely something funky (an ancestral sequence object,
pubmed abstracts, kitchen sink, whatever) I would have suggested the
factory solution but reasonably-common statistics or (even) a pretty
generic tag-value system is "ok" in my book.


This is in the keep-it-simple-until-it-starts-to-look-ugly design mode

(KISUISTLU principle... now that is catchy! you heard it here first
folks...)
