[Bioperl-l] GFF3: preliminary or implemented?

It seems to me that we need to extend Bio::Tools::GFF to read/write the
seqfeature nesting hierarchy using ID= and Parent= tags

This seems a little problemmatic because it requires the notion of a
unique id for features, which is lacking in bioperl

How should we progress here? Should we add add a unique_id method to
SeqFeature? Should this be autogenerated?
