Edward,

thanks again for your answer and offer. If you could provide some test
data in the INSPIRE structure that would be great. We would include this
data in msautotest for some INSPIRE tests where you could verify the
results in turn.

Thanks,
Stephan

We'd rather put our time into something which is going in the "right" direction though, rather than just producing patches which are good enough to do a job for us but otherwise disappear into trac never to make it to trunk.
