  As a reference, discussions regarding this are in  
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3608

  From my understanding, there are at least 2 major parts that we need 
to address to be able to be INSPIRE compliant:
   - the layer grouping part
   - the multi-language support

The discussions happened mainly around the layer grouping. There is a 
possible solution proposed in the trac bug although It still needs some 
back and forth to clarify some parts and determine that It is a workable 
solution.

There was no discussions that happened around on the language support. 
This need to researched a bit to identify the solutions. Off hand I do 
not know all the implications on this (some input was given here by Bart 
at one point [1])

I believe the grouping part can be addressed for 6.0. I am unsure yet 
about the multi-language part.
