Tom K.  you mentioned a related bug, could you note that in this bug 
please ... or set up a dependency.

PS: I've noted the bug against the WFS client since that was the reason 
why this came up.

PPS: Steve L, I believe Assefa would be the one to tell you what we were 
able to do with the filters.  There were several limitations that he was 
not happy with, but we had made a conscious decision not to implement 
anything that was not directly supported in MapServer.  It is highly 
likely that missing stuff will be added over time, but it would require 
small to large changes in mapserver and that was out of scope for this 
contract.

Cheers,

Paul
