[fdo-internals] Please review FDO RFC 38 - Multi-polygon support for SHP

[Orest Halustchak]

Hi,

We've run into issues where SHP multi-polygons are not being returned as FDO multi-polygons by the FDO SHP provider. The issue stems from the SHP specification having only a polygon type defined, but that definition includes polygons with any number of outer rings which encompasses both simple polygons and multi-polygons.

RFC 38, drafted by Dan Stoica, proposes to fix the problem by adding the capability to the FDO SHP provider.

See http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FDORfc38 .

Have a look at the RFC and provide your comments.

Thanks,
Orest.
