The thing is, it doesn't make much of a difference. The basic
classes don't have to be the ones given by the LSR; you just need
a way to construct them from what you have.
Thus, we could have a light-weight sequence object and use it to
compose something which meets the LSR requirements.
And BTW, I'm more in favor of even lighter weight objects than
Ewan; that is, I would rather not have id, accession and desc as
part of the core object. To me that is more related to a sequence
record data type.
