[Mapserver-dev] mapserv (CVS) WMS query

[Daniel Morissette]

Um... I never realized that this implied that the default style was 
named "default".  Please file this in bugzilla and one of us will take 
care of applying and testing the patch.  Note that we'll also have to 
parse (split) the styles parameter because we'll have to handle the case 
of styles=default,default,default....
