Dmitry,

I don't intend to work directly on that issue, but now you are a GDAL 
committer, you can make appropriate use of your rights :-)

I hadn't reviewed in deep details your patch, but as I remember it was a non 
trivial one, I'd encourage you to check that the GDAL python autotest suite 
still passes in your local tree. And possibly to extend it to trigger your new 
code.

Best regards,

Even
