Thanks. I saw some of the RFCs (58 deals with KML). The ones I saw, as you note above, reference MS 6.0. Other than OGC stuff (WMS, WFS), does this imply that as is, MapServer can't "render" data into GeoJSON, KML, etc.? > Also, mapserver support OGC WFS and I think there may be options to > configure the output as XML or JSON, but I'm not sure.
