[Annotation] annotating ribosomal proteins

I was thinking along the same lines, but that we could do IPI with 
GO:complexID

I don't think we should use IDA. Up to now, where there is no direct 
evidence for the process, I have used IC from GO:complexID for the 
process if the inference can be made from an IDA to a complex,  but this 
is probably not  ideal.
