[mapguide-internals] MapGuide RFC 6 - Overriding Coordinate Systems in Feature Sources

[Robert Bray]

Yes we certainly could add reference to Web Studio (and mention that DM 
will contribute), in fact that is an excellent idea. The ability to 
specify one when none exists has always be there. This extends that to 
make the specified one act as an override to what the FDO provider 
specifies.

As a general practice we do not (and actually cannot) mention changes to 
closed source software in our RFCs. Hence there was no mention of Studio 
in the unmanaged data RFC either.
