Ah yeah. I missed that. If I don't use cross_match correctly I can miss 
large inverted repeats:

If the attP1 and attP2 sites are still there after you move your 
fragment of interest, then one issue would be you would need to sequence 
past 200+ bases of known sequence to get to your insert from the vector 
priming sites. (Well, maybe only 125 bases, if you are cloning attB 
flanked PCR products.)
	But instead of forward and reverse vector primers, couldn't Ciaran use 
PCR fragment primers? Something inside the attB sites?
