excellent!  This is one of the aspects of MOBY that we haven't fully taken  
advantage of in the past.  gbrowse_moby handles it, but I'm not sure if  
Taverna does (?? does it ??)

I am *so* looking forward to 'Moby II' where we model things in RDF rather  
than XML, since that will allow us to make the "has" and "hasa"  
subcomponents of an object also be more complex than they are defined in  
the ontology.  In the current MOBY XML data messages this isn't allowed  
because we have little choice but to use XPath queries to get at the  
subcomponents of a data-object, and that would break if the subcomponents  
were not predictable (by their primary tags)...

Nevertheless, allowing the outermost object to be more complex still gives  
us a lot of freedom!

Thanks Martin!
