Bruce, Apologies to you (and the list) for sending redundant information. That's what I get for responding too quickly -- I read right past the part of your note that mentioned that you already know about the link that I sent.
As for real-world experience, I haven't tried working with ESRI's OGC stuff beyond WMS since ArcIMS 4 (the WFS connector available back then). The WMS support in ArcIMS 9.1 seems OK; our client handles it fine. I don't like how they handle layers though, from what I remember it's hard with a client to get only one from a service based on ArcIMS out. We haven't installed ArcIMS 9.2 yet. I am interested in seeing what's in the next release, especially for server. I'm more interested in the ability to consume services for use in anlaysis that can provide results to our users than publishing with ESRI. I'm not sure how scalable server is for WMS publishing, but it's hard to beat the analysis tools that you can publish with it. I asked about OGC support in the pre-conference survey for the ESRI user conference this year. I receive two replies, including this: <snip>
"We are going to support WFS and WFS-T as part of ArcGIS Server at 9.3(winter). We are making a major investment with 9.3 to do a number of things: upgrade WMS (including support for legend modification), WCS (for raster format), and WFS (with simple GML)."

From Jack Dangermond, no less! Well, from a staff person on his behalf, but
I was suprised to see his e-mail in my inbox. cheers, Greg On 6/17/07, Greg Yetman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, There's a fairly detailed list at: http://www.esri.com/software/standards/support-iso-ogc.html Scroll down to see the table. In short, unless you buy the portal toolkit or interoperability extension, it's WMS & metadata documentation (not service) standards. I asked about future support at an ArcGIS Server seminar today, WFS and WCS are supposed to be part of ArcGIS server at 9.3, due out 1st quarter next year. Not sure about OGC support in ArcIMS or other packages at the next release.
