[DAS] Sanger DAS sources

[Jonathan Warren]

If a client has the X-DAS-Version set to DAS/1.6E in the request  
header the Sanger DAS sources at http://das.sanger.ac.uk/das/sources  
will respond with 1.6 style XML responses. If no header is set for  
this or it does not contain the number 6 the DAS 1.53E xml responses  
will be returned (with the exception of about 10 data sources that are  
labelled 1.6E with a property in the sources response (<PROP  
name="spec" value="DAS/1.6E"/>).

In the future I hope that more genomic DAS clients will move to  
support DAS 1.6 but in the meantime this is the Sanger solution to  
backwards compatibility issues which normally will only effect data  
sources with groups/parent/parts. This way we can also support the  
clients that do offer support for DAS 1.6.

Any problems or suggestion as always feel free to email me.

Thanks
