Great.

I hadn't yet done a comparison against EMBOSS (what version do you
have), but yes, it looks like I am wrapping the feature tables using a
shorter line length - we should check that, and it would be easy to
adjust in Bio/SeqIO/InsdcIO.py

Regarding the SQ line, that was on my "TODO" list. Including the
sequence length and base counts shouldn't hard at all. If you want
to work on that it should just be a few lines in Bio/SeqIO/InsdcIO.py

Right now however, further testing of features would be my first
priority. See also:

There are other things still to do (e.g. missing fields on the ID line,
dates, and references).
