OK, that is a very clear statement. I must say that I always thought of 
OGR as an independant GIS data model, the most encompassing of all, and 
that it could (in principle anyway) be used in some sort of stand-alone 
fashion.. I certainly can imagine, however, that for real applications 
it is not as optimal as more specialized formats.
