Tamas,

I think the notification of intent on the mailing list is sufficient
(as you have already done).  Go ahead and make your change and if there
are objections that arise we might reconsider.  But I don't anticipate
any problems.

Do please make a brief note in the method docs about this special
behavior for an attributed named ogr_style.

Best regards,
