looking through the das sources and the 1.6 spec it looks like
duplication in the features method and type attributes and element
contents happens a lot. Have we got some usage where the attribute and
element are not just duplicated? would be good if anyone has any
examples of these being used properly...
<FEATURE id="rs1042011" label="rs1042011">
<TYPE id="nsSNP">nsSNP</TYPE>
<METHOD id="dbSNP">dbSNP</METHOD>
or in some cases completely ignored such as type:
<TYPE id=""></TYPE><START>3756</START><END>3756</END><METHOD
id="ssahaSNP">ssahaSNP</METHOD>

Hi all,
As many of you will know, we plan to update the ageing 1.53 version
of the DAS specification currently available on the BioDAS website
with one that hopefully better reflects current usage of DAS. Most
changes are taken from the extensions defined in the extended 1.53E
spec, but with some differences and further additions.
We aim to formally release 1.6 at the end of June, but I have made
available the first draft:
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~aj/1.6_draft1/documents/spec.html
The hope is that this will give software authors time to prepare, in
order to minimise the impact of the transition. Updated versions of
core client/server libraries (ProServer, Bio-Das-Lite, Dazzle,
Dasobert) will be made available in due course.
I am happy to gather feedback and engage in discussion about the
changes (I won't list them individually here). Especially helpful
would be amendments for sections of the document that would improve
clarity, examples etc. Note that this is still a draft however - in
particular, the structure and alignment commands may be "tidied up"
and the stylesheet glyphs section further fleshed out.
Cheers,
Andy
