It seems that the original requirement was not "annotation" but "user append(s) data to map and can then prioritize data for display, etc.". It also seemed to refer to a (design) specification, not necessarily a standard specification.
KML, SLD, OWC (and most likely WFS-T / WMS SLD) could certainly be part of such a specification, but it would be important to know what the architectural constraints are, and what the appended (and appended- to) data is supposed to be. --Josh On Nov 24, 2008, at 1:09 PM, Raj Singh wrote: > XML for Image and map Annotation is still a "skunk works" > specification.
