[mapguide-users] Missing XML properties from layers - MaintainAspect, InsertionPointX and InsertionPointY

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

This was fixed in Maestro in r3862.

The problem is that the default value is actually "0.5", but the XSD was 
missing
the default value, so Maestro thinks the default is "0".
When you set the value to "0", its the default, and thus omitted.
Same goes for MaintainAspect, but that one has the correct default value.

See ticket #918 and #984
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/918
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/984

The latest Mastro preview (r3911) should have fixes for this.
