I didn't want to promote the OGR style as opposed to SLD or other style
representations, on the contrary I would be happy have them implemented all. But
at the moment - for practical reasons - implementing the OGR styles would be
more straightforward. From the user's perspective having a 'feature style
ready' data source (like mapinfo tab) in hand, can easily be converted to any
other data sources supported by OGR using a single commandline tool. It would
then be reasonable to establish support for rendering those feature styles in
mapserver by using the "native" drivers as well, not only with OGR
like now. <br>
For this reason I'd encourage to enhance such default style handling
(established with this addition) to support more kind of the style
representations if someone will have any motivation to implement a parser to
those styles. Till that time, having a single implementation in place is much
better than denying such support at all. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Hi
Devs,<br>
<br>
I would require an implementation to extend the current STYLEITEM option to be
used with further drivers in addition to OGR driver. I recall we have already
been discussed this topic with the conclusion that this kind of implementation
would require quite a big effort, but I expect the initial approach (based on
the OGR style) could be implemented fairly easily. For this reason I've created
MS RFC 61 describing the concept to be done, though the proposed changes
haven't yet been implemented by me. I'd anyway be in favour of adding such
solution (or a reasonable variant) to be available in the next release version
(ie. MS 6.0) <br>
<br>
