Release notes:
==============

* Exploration of Ecore, the model which drives the Eclipse Modeling
Framework, and a comparison with the General Feature Model (GFM)
* Proposed classes from 19103 which are going to be needed: Namespace
(Qname isn't functionally equivilent), Record, and Multiplicity.  Record is
also going to be needed to implement coverages.  Question: I dumped all
these classes in org.opengis.util.  Should we start making subpackages?
* Proposed GeoAPI feature-related packages.

I think this does a pretty good job of capturing the GFM, without wrestling
the poor user to the ground with a forbidding API.  It is strongly
influenced by Ecore, but the interfaces are expressed in terms of the
TC/211 concepts.  It is powerful enough to permit the generation of a
correct UML diagram directly from the application schema, but this is
hidden from casual users.  There is a convention for the inclusion and
instantiation of Factories with each package in an application schema.
This model can easily accomodate both ComplexFeatures and Coverages.

Please edit with your comments and return to me.

Thanks,
Bryce
