Indeed, it is often best to trust the users.
The information is in ACD, but it is in the sequence "type" which you
would have to interpret as nucleotide, protein, or both.
Some ACD files that allow both types also use a variable "ACDPROTEIN"
that is set to the type of the first sequence - this allows you to make
protein or nucleotide specific versions with appropriate default values
- the alignment progams are common examples of this.

We try to avoid these. If you run "acdvalid <progamname>" you may see
warnings for things that can be difficult for parsers. Let us know if
any of these give you major problems - or if there are problems we fail
to detect. We try to reduce the number of acdvalid warnings for all
emboss applications before each release.
