While the annotation fields appear structured, that part of the information is not reliable.

Thanks I'll take a look.

We usually index an "access number" in addition to the identifier. Is 
there some significance in the parts of the id naming that could be used 
as an accession or a sequence version?

Thanks. I may just use USPTO but it's not important.

Yes ... it is a fairly straightforward extension to dbxflat so I could 
send you a copy but for general release I would prefer to distribute  it 
only from 6.5 onwards.
