I could see something like this working - at least for the sake of backwards 
compatibility. I do think it should marking a layer as being queryable should 
be explicit, so either via TEMPLATE or QUERYABLE (new) keywords. I know this 
was discussed over the years but I can't recall arguments one way or the other.

Thanks Even and Jukka for the feedback,



I'd be a bit hesitant about adding a new keyword QUERYABLE as this would 
require updating a lot of existing Mapfiles.

We could make it such that setting TEMPLATE still implies QUERYABLE ON if it 
the later is not set in the 8.x series (with some deprecation warning that in 
MapServer 9 QUERYABLE should be set?)
