And thus the parts start to come back together ... > I think you have communicated your intention just fine... its just > that from my point of view while this seems like a very noble and > lofty goal i dont think its very practical. Anyways... my two cents. I am in agreement with you; and if that is not our goal (as a project) then I would like to leave the word "FeatureCollection" out of the picture.
I do happen to think ISO19107 FeatureColletion will be valuable - but if we do not have resources/mandate/will to implement this right now (or ever) then I would like us to do exactly that ... not implement geoapi FeatureCollection. > Lets not even mention ISO19107... we should really be refusing to > allow specs like this one to influence what our classes look like when > there is absbolutley *no* mandate to do so. Just because some spec > that nooone without years of modelling experience can understand says so. And this is where we are in agreement ISO19107 has its place; and I think it is a good abstraction that has suffered from a very bad presentation (and reception). Mostly that is entirly the fault of the ISO standards body not making their standards in a way we can read them for free. > If someone really wants an ISO19107 FeatureCollection and wants to pay > for it then giddy up.

A very sensible viewpoint; and one we have taken. Now that they have proven the idea works (several times on branches and unsupported modules) it is time to figure out how to take advantage.
