[Incubator] Official FDO Application for Incubation

[Cameron Shorter]

I've had a quick skim over this project and it seems to address a 
similar use to the data objects provided by http://geotools.org data 
objects and http://geoapi.sf.net . (Both implemented in Java - although 
I think the GeoAPI project aims to be a cross language API).

Would it be appropriate or desirable for FDO to align with GeoAPI?
