I've taken it to be the former (although for my implementation against the
EMBL database I chose to throw an exception since it's optional).

Note there is a get_PrimarySeq method in the Seq object which gives the
other functionality.



Btw, the version number of a database - should it be a 'string' or an
'integer'??? Currently, it's the latter - But I'm now not so sure if
that's appropriate...
