Yes, we plan to have a specialized class for every databank, for which the
attributes its entries carry are not sufficiently reflected in Bio::Seq.pm
or an already existing class under Bio::Seq::*. This enables us to free the
basic Seq object from definitions that only pertain to databanks and don't
make up the essentials of a biological sequence.

So, molecule(), division() etc will be eventually moved away from
Bio::Seq.pm. This is even in the task list for 0.7, but with a priority of
2, meaning that we want it, but we may decide to skip it this time in order
to get the release out of the door.
