Hi All, As Jon pointed out, this work is being discussed in the joint OGC/W3C Spatial Data on the Web Working Group. Also, Jon will be presenting the work formally to the OGC membership at our Opening Plenary next month. I encourage interested parties to attend in person (Orlando, FL USA) or remotely via GoTo Meeting.
Many OGC standards are now being developed in GitHub and nothing precludes this work from evolving in a very public fashion and also moving through the OGC process, if desired!
