[Bioperl-l] RE: [Gmod-gbrowse] features not displaying

[Jason Stajich]

I think we really need to unify the attributes / get_tag_values,  
name/seq_id/display_name Bio::SeqFeatureI,Bio::AnnotableI,  
Bio::Das::SegmentI functions.  This seems to be the crux of the  
problems.

If we can document what is expected can we not update the interfaces  
and push the method aliases down to the primary objects.  I don't know  
that we ever expected Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects to have the  
'attributes' method - is this a Das/Bioperl method naming conflict?
