I therefore, spent about 10 minutes to fix the xNAL and xCIL to cater for
this data set.

What do you think?

Ram,

This is a little off the path.  I think just adding one attribute is a
cheap fix,
no problem with that.

However some years back I was involved in a Genome Primate 
database project for Duke University.

My 2cents is there is a shed load of other stuff - like species info' 
and who sired who, that people in this area ALSO want to store.

I think we should not go down that slippery slope.  People wanting
to extend our <name> <address> stuff should <include> <species>
and <hereditary> pieces from elsewhere.
