Hi Adrian,

Yes when the Feature Model eventually comes out (usual disclaimer of 
pending time, funding, cooperation) it will need to be explicit if it is 
making use of a simple feature model (simple == 'flat').

I would expect that with Java 5 we could explicitly return 
SimpleFeatureType and SimpleFeatureCollection when the occasion 
warrants, but since we are at Java 1.4 you would need to use an 
instanceof check.

Please note that currently the implementations only support a simple (ie 
'flat') feature, and although Justin and I are going to hack this 
evening the revised feature model looks further and further away with 
each passing week (sad).
