[MOBY-dev] bad LSIDs produced by biomoby registry

Eddie & Mark,
   Could you please fix the LSID creation: the entity name must be
'escaped' if it has characters that are not allowed in the LSID parts,
especially colons. An example is a namespace named GOA:hamap that gets
LSID:
   urn:lsid:biomoby.org:namespacetype:GOA:hamap
which is, IMHO, wrong. It should be something like:
   urn:lsid:biomoby.org:namespacetype:GOA_hamap
(but obviousy you need to do it in a way that allows you to map
back the escaped lsid to the original entity).

   Cheers,
   Martin
