[DAS2] unary properties

Looks to me like these might be GO terms, which should probably be
represented more like:

<PROP key="gene_ontology" value="rRNA modification" />

and possibly include an href to a description of that GO term.

Of course one could argue whether the attribute values should be URI
references rather than arbitrary strings, but you get the idea.
