Hi, very nice explanation. I like it also because I had no idea about complex featue types before reading it. Just one missing information for me is "What to do to make complex features in GeoServer". It would be best to make tutorial, if it is not too much time to spend. If it is too complex, please try to make that process just in some points. (just a few dots with description what to have be done, something like "code new derivate of class ABC and implement abstract methods")
Have a nice day.
