I agree. I'll make that change.

I think the problem is that the method is write_feature(), which can be 
called many times for a single output file, but the version should only 
be printed once at the very start of the file.

I suppose it just needs better capturing of when we're intending to 
write... Hmmm... didn't I fix a method related to that?...

Yes, yes I did:
Bio::Root::IO->mode
;)

Any objections to me replacing the if clause with one using that method?
