[BioC] Custom annotation for a package in development?

[Robert Gentleman]

following up slightly on what Marc Carlson already said,
in general schema that are close, but not identical to the ones that are 
  provided now are problematic as they tend to lead to confusion and 
make it difficult for package authors to accommodate them, so please do 
one of these three things:

  1) use the standard schema,
  2) discuss needed changes with us (on bioc-devel though) as there are 
almost surely some changes that might benefit all and we can see if 
changes to the existing schema are possible (not this close to the 
release though - any changes would only make it into 2.4)
  3) use something completely different, with a very different naming 
convention

  best wishes
    Robert
