I am becoming more and more convinced that this was a Bad Thing right 
from the start.  There is no great benifit to having an OO-style 
interface to MOBY Central since we don't actually take advantage of it 
(e.g. by storing things in "self") , and it doesn't "feel" right in any 
case relative to the way the rest of MOBY Central works.

I'd be tempted to just forget it and re-code MOBY Central so that it 
returns XML only.   If I could get a few hours free....

For the moment just send them to the list.
