default is “Name”) then it will be written out as the “Name” element. Likewise
with “Description”. You’re saying that everything works fine using ogr2ogr but
when you try to create an OGR dataset programmatically you get extra, empty “name”
and “description” elements in the output? Can you file a trouble ticket and
include your input layer and code snippet if possible?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
