Andreas, your logic makes sense. I think that WMS-C is most likely going to refer to a Component WMS as being defined in the current OGC testbed. But as you say, we are ahead of the curve again and should not hold up our build in order to be compatible. The consequence is that some of our OWS Context docs will break in the next release. But we can live with that. -- Cameron Shorter Geospatial Systems Architect Tel: +61 (0)2 8570 5050 Mob: +61 (0)419 142 254 Think Globally, Fix Locally Commercial Support for Geospatial Open Source Solutions http://www.lisasoft.com/LISAsoft/SupportedProducts.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
