These examples don't conform with the current specification, but they both have a `VN:Z:1.0` header. Is any available software using the name-per-end style? Abyss is using the name-per-sequence style, and that's also what [Shaun's examples][1] use.\r\n\r\nHow would you feel if the version of the name-per-end style was retroactively downgraded to something like `VN:Z:0.1`? I know it's not great practice, but having two conflicting versions with the same version number is even more confusing. Bumping the current version up wouldn't really solve the problem, since Abyss and others are already using the current spec with `VN:Z:1.0`.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the name-per-end examples (and discussion) could actually be moved to a *discussion* or *historic background* document on it's own, so the spec doc is cleaner for developers implementing parsers/generators.\r\n\r\n[1]: https://github.com/sjackman/assembly-graph/blob/master/sample.gfa"}}
