[Gdal-dev] Motion: To approve RFC 6 - Geometry and Feature style as OGR Special Fields

[Daniel Morissette]

I'll vote +1.

However, the fact that the special fields take precedence over other 
fields with the same names in the data file bugs me a little bit. I do 
not have a better suggestion to make, but at a minimum the special field 
names and this behavior should be well documented in a prominent place 
to avoid users getting caught by this magic.

Perhaps ogrinfo could also be modified to detect this case and issue a 
warning if it finds those special fields in a dataset?
