So if we can write up a page in the developers guide, and manage to 
follow it - then it sounds like we have consensus (look ma no PMC needed).

So I think we are back in the game right now:
- ext/oracle removed - failed experiment
- ext/go - out of the build, since it is not going to be completed for 
2.2.x can we remove it?
- ext/mappane - I have it working, not smoothly but it displays enough 
for right now

This date appears to be when? - Wednesday? If someone can try the 
mappane module before then
it would be cool.

Um I had this discussion with Richard (for WMS) and also with David for 
WFS ...
For WMS we have strategy objects that we delegate to that implement the 
different policies
defined by each specification. This practice allows us to define 
additional strategy object for
specific service implementations that are have issues....

I would like to maintain this idea, if I can ask the code to be "pure" 
spec, all hacks/allowances
isolated in a manner similar to WMS (or a subclass if that is too hard).

So Richard mostly raised this issue, I just ask that we provide a 
technical solution to the problem
to prevent permissive code from making the code base a mess.

So time to contact the module maintainer; and I would love to see the 
design before giving this idea
a thumbs up.

That may be possible; but we can also pull an interesting trick I have 
seen in other projects,
in our reference section only provide javadoc links to the packages that 
matter to us...

Um, only if the code can still be maintained ;-)

:-)
1) isolate specification
2) create dialects (derrived from the origional specification) that 
allow for specific breaches of contract in a controlled manner

This will be come more obvious when we have WFS1.0 and WFS 1.1 support.
