An understandable view - solves issues with circular references & object 
ownership for naive implementations. Do bioperl features hold references 
to their 'containing' sequences?

Just to give my ID crusade - they are of no meaning without knowing 
which database to look them up in - the tuple {ID, SeqDB} is what is 
realy required if you use ID at all. Also, there is the issue of wether 
resolving the ID gives you back a CORBA object that is equivalent or 
identical.
