Hi,
I have in the back of my mind that we still experience some difficulties with differently encoded capabilities documents. On the same topic: We have discussed whether it would be a good idea to separate out the SQL dumps for GUI and services. The extreme version being a separate SQL for each module. A list of SQL dumps could be the basis on which to import GUI. I also remember that we still have unresolved issues when updating existing Mapbender installations; has to do with WMS ids being unique and potentially conflicting with existing ones. 

This will probably be too much for the next release but lets not forget this. 

Regards, Arnulf.
