---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 The QueryMapFeatures method in the Web API supports null filter geometries
 as long as you provide an XML selection string as the replacement
 filtering mechanism.

 The QUERYMAPFEATURES operation in the mapagent should allow for selection
 updates via XML strings instead of input geometry. However both v1.0 and
 v2.6 of the operation require a geometry parameter, making XML string-
 based selection updates impossible.

 This requirement should be lifted. In addition, the SetSelectionXML()
 viewer API should call v2.6 QUERYMAPFEATURES with the XML string instead
 of calling the setselection helper script.

 This should fix #2463 as well as fixing this would make the helper script
 redundant.
