[ensembl-dev] new VEP REST endpoint

Hello,

I'm finally getting the chance to update some code that depends on the VEP
REST endpoint from the beta version to the current production version and
have a few questions.  Looking specifically at this example

http://rest.ensembl.org/vep/human/id/COSM476?content-type=application/json

Under transcript_consequences in this example somatic is "1,1,1".  What is
this supposed to represent?  There are three colocated_variants, so I
assume this is referring to that.

Under transcript_consequences allele_string="A/T" is now represented as
variant_allele="T".  It would be useful to have a similar
reference_allele="A".

Then in this table there are a few cases documented where VEP isn't using
the correct SO term:

http://gemini.readthedocs.org/en/latest/content/functional_annotation.html#standardizing-impact-definitions-for-gemini

Have these been addressed?

Thank you,

   michael
