Well the thing is by definition they always have an underlying 
PrimarySeq. And, almost all flat attributes do delegate to the 
PrimarySeq. See the constructor.

If there is to be a Seq w/o an underlying PrimarySeq we'll have to do 
some serious re-thinking of how we do things. Just as an example, when 
you attach features to a Seq object, the method will attach the 
PrimarySeq to the feature.
