Daniel,<br>
Thank you for your pgRouting Overview docs. Your docs are good and I've
only made minor comments, mainly reducing words, hopefully without
removing meaning.<br>
I did comment out the "Implemented Standards" section, as it seems that
pgRouting doesn't make use of specific OGC standards.<br>
<br>
I've committed changes back into svn. The results are below. Please
review and update if I've made mistakes.<br>

geospatial database to provide geospatial routing functionality.</p>
<p>Advantages of the database routing approach are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Data and attributes can be modified by many clients, like <a

GIS</a> and <a class="reference external"
href="file:///home/cshorter/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/overview/_build/html/udig_overview.html">uDig</a>
through JDBC, ODBC, or directly using Pl/pgSQL. The clients can either
be PCs or mobile devices.</li>
<li>Data changes can be reflected instantaneously through the routing
engine. There is no need for precalculation.</li>
<li>The “cost” parameter can be dynamically calculated through SQL
and its value can come from multiple fields or tables.</li>
</ul>
