Or perhaps "means-test" each study: first request the NEXUS file, but if the NTAX x NCHAR is too big (e.g. over 1 million characters for S12156) then use nexml.org to convert the NEXUS to NeXML instead of requesting the NeXML directly from TreeBASE (you lose the metadata, but it's better than nothing). Otherwise, if the NEXUS is sufficiently small, make a second request for the NeXML.
