Sweet. I'm on it :-) I also realized, reading through the rtracklayer code, that pulling down a Ranges' worth of signal within hotspots, and then building a model directly from that, offers the easiest way imaginable to fit certain types of data & then validate the models. rtracklayer is an amazingly practical package. One of these days someone really must write a book on it, on the Ranges infrastructure, and how elegantly both are integrated into all things BioC. As Kasper put it in the slides that introduced me to IRanges and GRanges, "These two packages are themselves compelling arguments for learning R!" It's absolutely true.
