Hi everyone, I'm interested in future plans for implementing support for curved geometries in GeoServer. Since they are a part of OGC Simple Feature Access, GML standard and Post GIS, Oracle and the new version of SQL Server all support curve geometry types, wouldn't it be nice to have GeoServer be able to render them natively? Of course there is a workaround involving in-database transformation of curves to lines, but still, that introduces unsolvable problems in terms of curve editing tools in web mapping frameworks coupled with GeoServer. I think that there are many people interested in this and would greatly benefit from this feature as GeoServer is a reference implementation for OGC services and has practically become industry standard. It would probably push the development of several other open-source projects (development of complex tools for curve drawing and editing in OpenLayers for instance).
Please comment and share your experience in dealing with curved geometries and GeoServer.
