I should mention that I can also get at their data usig ArcMap or an
ArcGIS addon for AutoCAD....but I don't suppose there's a way to get
ArcGIS Server data right into Mapguide....

I've had success in getting these layers to show up in Quantum
GIS, which I'm assuming is using that reader/writer. To get the
data in there, I just create a new vector layer and paste in the
url for the path. When it comes in, it names the layer OGRGeoJSON.
I'm sure that what's happening is it's downloading the json and
then rendering that, rather than streaming it. I could live with
that in Mapguide, if I had to...most of the data is pretty static.
I've tried the OGR FDO in Maestro, but no success yet. I've tried
setting the datasource value to my url - no luck. I've tried
adding the url as my resource data file...no luck.
I'd like to do this without the need for extra coding, so unless
there's an FDO that can handle this, or some way to trick one of
them into working, I'll have to wait and see if they get other
formats later.

I've never tried this myself, but if you don't need live
data in your MapGuide server and have access to FME, you may
be able to import it using their ESRIJSON reader/writer: http://docs.safe.com/fme/reader_writerPDF/esrijson.pdf

yes. But it's not my server that's outputting that

would do that? If I needed to use Fusion, I would...
