Looks good - although there is a potential problem here with long keywords
where this does not avoid splitting a single keyword over multiple KW lines
(as specified in the EMBL specification). This is a corner case though...

Good plan :)

Meanwhile, I committed that change:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/41470eac55a665d1cb1c7e73ebfd3c1df98af5ad

I added a little more testing, from which I think we may need to
do some work with some of the other EMBL fields like dbxrefs:

Thanks,
