+Improved handling of wms_layer_group as real layers
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
-... TODO...
+The current behavior of the wms_layer_group is to provide hierarchy of layers and expose it
+through the capabilities document. The parent layers do not conatin a <Name> tag, thus are not
+accessible through the GetMap and GetFeatureInfo requests.
+With an upgrade of wms_layer_group functionality to use Group parameter to indicate the level 
+of the XPath expression that can be requested (refer to http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1632), 
+and the addition of the functionality discussed in this RFC, the user will have flexibility to 
+configure the map file to show/hide low level layers and to allow or not WMS requests at 
+different levels of the tree hierarchy.  This is especially important to be able to support the 
+INSPIRE requirements.
