Should clarify that: round-tripping to generate the same data structure/object is good and what we want.  Round-tripping to generate the exact same output is not our highest priority.

None of the SeqIO module make that specific promise, simply b/c it's a nearly impossible thing to maintain, with very little payback.  Round-tripping is fine and all, just not our first priority.

I could see myself using it in the BioPerl unit tests to make sure that the assembly files written match the input assembly files.
