So "Rivers" I can use to get the layer in a getmap request but not "the_rivers". So is there any use for "wms_group_title" and "wms_title" ? How is this handled by other map rendering engines (Geoserver, Mapnik , Degree?)
The wms_title metadata is used to produce the <Title> element for the layer in the WMS GetCapabilitites. The Title is usually displayed by WMS clients as the human-readable caption of the layer, in selection lists for instance.
OTOH, the LAYER NAME is mapped to the <Name> element in the WMS GetCapabilities which is the unique name/id of the layer, this the identifier by which client and server software refer to this layer in GetMap and other requests.
