[Biococoa-dev] Annotation

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Ok, yes, I'm awake, and yes, I'm still sleepy. Indeed one of the 
benefits of the NSString as charles mentioned was that along the lines 
of the BSML format it's handy to have it as a string for archiving and 
stuff. That's the reason... Also, it's a method, not an accessor it 
generates the NSString upon request. BUT, what I can do of course is 
add a - classForName: method in addition, perhaps a better alternative.
Cheers, and good morning,
Alex

Ps. I realize this doesn't help reducing today's list traffic ;-)
