Ok, I found now see the preview icon in maestro. I work with the XML flip flop for now, but maybe a ticket should be opened on the this and the geometry recognition issue. My last question, for now, is how or does OGR or PostGIS handle annotation featureclasses? Or perhaps a better way of asking given he focus if this thread, is what is the best way to handle annotation e.g. label a feature and set the symbology to transparent, etc.
