[Go] Annotation file format question

[Chris Mungall]

All entries in col15 should be a registered DB in GO.xrf_abbs[1] - I  
don't see bioPixie/MEFIT there.

bioPixie/MEFIT could ask to be registered as a database in  
GO.xrf_abbs - but I'm not sure we should add them as it sounds more  
like a composed description of a method rather than a database or  
institution. And I think we should avoid slashes anyway.

It sounds like bipixie/MEFIT should be a GO_REF referenced in the  
publication field
