<font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3">Actaully, this idea of "mode=browse (or custom)&template=openlayers" is an interesting approach. It leaves the idea of changing out the inspection framework to the admin and end users.</font> </p>

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
<font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3">Now, just to muddy the waters further, if I want to use GeoMoose as my display of choice, might it be nice to see a method for MapServer to give up it's own getCapabilities type of list for these different mode=browse options? Maybe just looking for some sort of template file and giving up a "I support this framework" sort of reply.</font> </p>

<font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3">Also, could something like a SLD work here as well, where the TEMPLATE was remote? Ok, maybe I'm getting to far ahead . . .</font> </p>
