I suppose there would be some positional information, where the  
sequence are aligned in some specific ways, so an array of sequences  
+ an array of offset should do. The best way to start is to agree on  
a good, simple but complete and consistent header and then the  
implementation almost does not matter and can always be modified in  
the future.
