I think for the sake of useability, we could either relax the location constraint to allow point locations at 0, or in the sp parser, re-write these as <1 - what do people think?
Ugh.
I'm not sure "<1" will appeal to people who are into round-tripping.
I think my (slightly) favoured option would be to remove the location constraints on Features completely. I know this is pretty horrible, but off-sequence locations do seem to be things people use.
I'd definitely vote against special-casing locations at position 0 -- that just feels like a slippery slope. What happens when people want to model larger leader-peptides in this way? If we're going to allow off-sequence locations at all we should bite the bullet and allow them without restriction.
*sigh*
