No luck for #1-3, but at least #4 could be handled using feature style 
strings. This is not a priority for the initial implementation, but I 
just wanted to point out what's possible.

(See OGRFeature::GetStyleString() and OGRFeature::SetStyleString(). The 
mitab driver is one of the very few that implement this, I believe the 
dgn driver has some basic support too.)
