Hi Andrea just going to chime in on a few points since you and Gabriel 
have this under control.

We are making a "SimpleFeature" interface available that is the least 
pain we can manage for the existing datastores. However it is only a 
interface with some additional methods that are *only* valid when you 
can make the "flat" feature assumption. Rendering code etc will be 
written to the general interface.

WFS 1.1 is being implemented against the existing feature model due to 
time constraints; and due to the simple feature profile the OGC is 
targeting for their current work.  That said justin is running into some 
interesting limits; and may be messing with DataStore code to map 
between STRUCTS & POJO or such like.

Cheers,
Jody
