[OSGeo-Discuss] Input regarding Axis Order Confusion

[Arnulf Christl]

Hey
thanx Paulo, Jody, Bob and all others for the input. As always good input
from GeoTools. Problem is that this is way too long and complicated to the
neogeographer.

Schyler,
could you please reformulate your 1000 year pledge, I don't get it (soy
extranjero).

So we are back at the start - or was it the end. My trouble with this is
that I have already seen way too many hmtl clients in the web hopping to
the right when you wanted to go left. With 1.3 applications will break
more often. This is not good. All we can do is keep the exposed interfaces
really well isolated. Anything else might be added to the Wiki, I am done
with this issue at this point.

Regards, Arnulf.
