[Biojava-l] FramedFeature interface

[Emig, Robin]

	So what your saying is that if you have the sequence ATGGAC, that
the first A is position 1 in the sequence/symbol list, but position 0 in the
frame/phase. I realize that 0,1,2 may be the most common convention, but
does anyone else see how that can get confusing?

This is not the 1/0 start position dichotomy, but the frame/phase
definition. 0,1,2 is the most common convention.
