David,

I notice you made the following change for GEOS-3192:

+            element("Name", 
layer.getResource().getNamespace().getPrefix() + ":" + layer.getName());
              //REVISIT: this is bad, layer should have title and 
anbstract by itself
              element("Title", layer.getResource().getTitle());
              element("Abstract", layer.getResource().getAbstract());

While I realize this is a single line change, and that the change is 
probably worth while as it fixes an issue, changing anything (no matter 
how trivial) in the capabilities document can seriously affect existing 
clients, so such changes should not be made lightly.

I am not against the change, but it went forward with absolutely no 
discussion on the developers list. Was there discussion on IRC that I 
missed? Did you verify this change with existing clients? I am guessing 
openlayers but what about udig, qgis and other clients?
