#### 4.1 The `sorted_name_length_pairs` attribute (`RECOMMENDED`)
459459

460460
The `sorted_name_length_pairs` attribute is a *non-inherent* attribute of a sequence collection with a formal definition, provided here.
461-
It is `RECOMMENDED` that all seqcol implementations add this attribute to all sequence collections.
462461
When digested, this attribute provides a digest for an order-invariant coordinate system for a sequence collection.
463462
Because it is *non-inherent*, it does not affect the identity (digest) of the collection.
464463
It is created deterministically from the `names` and `lengths` attributes in the collection; it *does not* depend on the actual sequence content, so it is consistent across two collections with different sequence content if they have the same `names` and `lengths`, which are correctly collated, but with pairs not necessarily in the same order.
465-
For rationale and use cases of `sorted_name_length_pairs`, see [*Footnote F7*](#f7-use-cases-for-the-sorted_name_length_pairs-non-inherent-attribute).
464+
This attribute is `RECOMMENDED` to allow unified genome browser visualization of data defined on different reference sequence collections. For more rationale and use cases of `sorted_name_length_pairs`, see [*Footnote F7*](#f7-use-cases-for-the-sorted_name_length_pairs-non-inherent-attribute).
