Thanks for the explanation Hilmar.  This approach makes good sense, but 
isn't backwards compatible.  I had scripts that ran fine under the last
release of bioperl but which now break when I try to access subfeatures
of CDS features.  It was simple to change with the info you and Jason provided,
but you might get a lot of questions on this issue.

All the best,

Simon
