[MOBY-dev] what is the status of id and namespace for primitive types

[Mark Wilkinson]

If the Integer and String are distinctly and independantly identifiable 
entities outside of their context in the DNASequence object, then they 
should carry their own namespace and id values.  Otherwise these 
attributes have null values, and only the "identifiable" object has a 
namespace and ID.
