Yes we need to handle those entries. If you want to request this
feature, please tell us. More requests means higher priority :-)
When reading a CON entry we need a database to use to read the true
sequence and features.
If we are reading from a database we can add the information in the
database definition.
How do we define a default to resolve EMBL CON entries?
Can we handle EMBL release and EMBL updates?

Peter
