[Biojava-l] three-letter Protein alphabet names

Hi,
I'm looking at extending biojava sequence io to read sequences from 
patents (initially current US data formats, later perhaps older formats 
and other jurisdictions).
Anyone done this already or interested?

Protein data uses 3-letter codes. I found an old posting about 3-letter 
codes:

[Biojava-dev] Protein alphabet names
http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biojava-dev/2002-October/000143.html

>/   - Add an additional tokenization (probably called
/>/ "three-letter"
/>/     unless someone comes up with a better
/>/ suggestion) for people
/>/     who actually want 3-letter codes.
/

Did this happen (I can't find it)?
I'll try extending WordTokenization to do this unless someone has 
already done it or can advise me better (I'm new here and advice would 
be very welcome).

Cheers,
    Neil Bacon
