Markus, What's the standard (OGC?) part of this, just the calling structure, and consequent responses? It looks like anything can be on the backenda s the processor, and the only enforcements are in the calling and results for the getcapabilities, maybe in the service(s) requests as well . .

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Liability Issues For Companies Supporting OpenSource Development
