While testing v6, I can up with the following list of things I couldn't do (see http://i56.tinypic.com/8vvprn.png for a graphic):

1. Render lines inside polygon boundary (with or without opacity)
2. Place polygon annotation on/inside boundary line (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1592 point 8.)
3. Rotate anno if required to fit inside a polygon
4. Place polygon annotation outside polygon if anno doesn't fit inside
5. Place line anno above (or below) when using ANGLE FOLLOW
6. Rotate vector symbols to follow lines (a font might work but is a pain to create)
7. User specified character spacing
8. Erase lines (but not other objects) under annotation

My goal was to use the published shp files (http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/canvec/50k_shp/092/h/canvec_092h06_shp.zip) without modification and see how close I could get to the published PDF (http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/cantopo/50k_geopdf/092/h/cantopo_092h06_geopdf.zip).

Any suggested rendering techniques are appreciated. I'll file tickets for those problems deemed worthy.
