So, you're thinking of referencing an external FDO vector feature and
doing an envelope-intersects type operation?

I like this idea a lot in concept, but in practice it would be a lot
harder for me to do this than it would to generate a PO for a given
statement of work from a consultant.  Like a lot of open source stuff,
it's a non-traditional system, and takes quite a bit of work to
explain/justify to traditional purchasing departments.
