I agree we could relax rule b. I think we should get progressively 
independent from ape where it is useful. But maybe we should wait for 
the plot stuff to be recoded (I think this part includes most of the C 
code that phylobase calls from ape). We have seen how ugly it can get 
when we try to plot malformed phylo objects, and we cannot decently ask 
users not to plot there data until new methods are available.

Cheers,

Thibaut.
