Standardizing the format of a germline set

Does it make sense to others to be combining sequences and inferences about sequence features into one unit? To me it seems strange: I could imagine two different ways of identifying these features for the same underlying data, but I wouldn’t say that these are two different germline sets.

An option could be to have two layers: one, the sequences themselves, and two, inferences using those sequences. I certainly classify multiple sequence alignments as being inferences.
