[MOBY-dev] Strange inconsistence (bug?) in MobyCentral

[markw at illuminae.com]

I guess the important thing is, as Dmitry says, to check for *consistancy*.  If this is the only routine that returns an LSID as the value of that attribute, then we need to fix the code.  If all instances of that attribute contain an LSID, then we need to fix the doc.

I simply don't recall which is which... Though my "instincts" tell me that I wrote the code with the intent to return an LSID in all cases...  So I think the code is correct and the doc is wrong... I think!

According to the perldoc, the subroutine does what it says it should do (
http://search.cpan.org/dist/MOBY/lib/MOBY/Central.pm#retrieveObjectDefinition).
So I think that the api doc has a misprint in it.

Let me know how you devs want to proceed (either update the api doc or
update the perldoc for the sub and update the sub). I have a feeling that
all software in moby expects it the way that it is and so updating the api
doc might be better.
