[Bioperl-l] Annotation objects

[Ewan Birney]

My first trip at the coal face of 0.7 release. I have cleaned up
the Bio::Annotation:: objects (lots more documentation, Bio::Root::Object
removal, more tests). On the way I tied up the tests so that on systems
without XML/IO::String we skip the appropiate dependent  tests.


Some thoughts -


  (a) do we realy want a generic new() in Bio::Root::RootI - I would vote
no.

  (b) I want to refactor RootI - same functions, just cleaning it
up. Objections?


I'll refactor RootI only once I have got through my modules for 0.7
compliance...
