I just want to get this right in my pepxml emitter:

A modification_info object describes a peptide that has been modified.  It 
has an attribute, modified_peptide where the peptide is annotated to show 
where the modifications occur.  The modification_info object also has a 
child element called mod_aminoacid_mass.

The mod_aminoacid_mass has a position and a mass attribute.  The 
documentation for the position says: "modified aminoacid position in peptide 
[ranging from 1 to peptide length]"

Should the position of mod_aminoacid_mass specify a position on the 
modified_peptide string (e.g. "PE#PTI*DE", where the two positions would be 
3 and 7), or does it specify an amino acid position on the unmodified 
peptide, i.e., the peptide attribute in the search_hit element (e.g., 
"PEPTIDE", where the two positions would be 2 and 5)?

Thanks!
