if someone wants to pay for it, but I'm personally so pissed off at the WMS RWG for this pointless churn that am unlikely to work on it for the joy of supporting standards.
I'm with you there.
I don't know the other subtle issues. If there is a demand for WMS 1.3.0 support (not much outcry so far) then it would be helpful to collect funding to get DM Solutions or MapGears to implement it. Or someone else keen and trusted could do so.
I recently had a client who 'needed' a 1.3.0 WMS server solution. Turns out they didn't actually 'need' any of the new facilities and could settle for 1.1.1. At the time (~2 months ago?), I couldn't actually find *any* servers that were supporting it. My guess is the client just found out what the latest version # was and said "that's what we need to go with". :(
