Bob, I'd like to mirror Paul and Christopher's comments. There are a lot of browser based mapping clients available, many of them Open Source. From a user's point of view, this is confusing rather than useful. "Should I get features A,B,C,D or A,C,E,G?" Where possible, common libraries should

Hi Bob ... I should have said that was my take on the OSGeo policy, hopefully someone (Frank) will correct me if I misled you anywhere. Personally, I think it is important to have some diversity and exploration into new approaches to solving some of these problems. That being said, there
