[mapserver-dev] RFC 67 - Enable/Disable Layers in OGC Web Services

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi guys,

I just fell upon our old notes from the 2009 code sprint, and in it 
contains the example on how we proposed during that meeting to solve 
this hiding services issue:

   LAYER
     ...
     OWS
        SERVICE
          TYPE WMS
          REQUESTS ALL # ALL, ONE, or specific request to accept for 
this layer
          "key1" "value1"
          "key2" "value2"
        END
        SERVICE
          TYPE WFS
          REQUESTS ...
          ...
        END
     END
   END

Is there a reason to use metadata instead of the above?
