Hi Martin,

The Spot Elevation is the layer name, I will change this to be in the
colour of the layer

The Geometry view would be the current GeometryTab where you can view
different geometry text encodings, I'd like to change that icon to be
the (G) icon on the main tab.

I'm still thinking over the best way to merge the geometry in with the
attribute tab, I decided not to mess around with the GeometyTab as is
now and implement a new view from the ground up.

The new attribute view uses the HtmlRendererRepository for displaying
attributes values which is setup on plug-in init. As I mentioned I was
thinking of having a similar repository that allows you to override
settings for a FeatureSchema, this same approach could also be
implemented on a view page to allow the user to select the geometry
representation.

For the layer drop down it would act as a quick filter just so you can
concentrate on one layer so it won't show the current layer for the
feature. It will either display (All) if any features can be displayed.
