 - Comments from the original report

 Many FDO providers have Xml files that override basic settings.
 It should be possible to edit these from MapStudio.
 The mime-type on the resource should indicate if the attached document is
 text/xml.

 I like this one :)

 Note that you can also detect configuration documents (as opposed to just
 resource
 data) by the presence of the ConfigurationDocument entity under the
 FeatureSource
 entity, which contains the name of the linked resource data to use for
 configuration.

   <ConfigurationDocument>ConfigurationDocument</ConfigurationDocument>

 Ideally, you'd be able to create specific editors for data sources with
 complex
 override schemas, like WMS:

 You can find some more example schemas for WMS here:

 http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/browser/trunk/Providers/WMS/Src/UnitTest

 There doesn't seem to be a consistant way of storing configuration schemas
 in the
 FDO repository so I guess the best approach would be to ask on the fdo-
 users or fdo-
 internals lists about where to look in the code for these overrides.
