[Biojava-l] LSID

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

The internal use was mine (I was just using it as a substitute for a 
namespace). Maybe we should upgrade it to be compatable with IBM or 
Taverna?

The biojava LSID and the IBM LSID are slightly different APIs, the IBM one
the more complete of the two.  There also are/were LSID client
implementations that I'm not very familiar with in taverna [0] and for
whatever reason in an email client called Haystack [1].

I would move the biojava LSID implementation for deprecation after
release of version 1.4.x but note that it is used internally, see e.g.

org/biojava/utils/lsid/class-use/LifeScienceIdentifier.html

in the 1.4pre2 javadocs.
