[MOBY-l] secondary articles

[Paul Gordon]

Yup. Secondary data is generally things like word-length parameters for 
running BLAST.  These would often be set by the client at run-time.  You 
are limited to Integer, Float, String, and DateTime. You would never 
lookup a service because it takes an int that modifies its behaviour, so 
(AFAIK) although it's part of the service description, it's not part of 
the method signature...
