I agree , with you in the instance of a certain character in a font , to use
the mark approach.
Maybe if someone just can confirm that the idea of sending params with a
custom URL , if that is possible according to the URL standard?
Just out of curiosity , i presume this is a short coming in the API to
specify an font and a character
for a mark?
I quickly scanned the mapserver page you revered to and i saw that they also
can combine shapes to create a single 'mark' , if you will, Is that also
your intention , in my opinion that would be great?
