RFC 16: MapScript WxS Services

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

  For me at the end of the day, having ogc services available through 
mapscript is the most imporatant part of all this. As mentionned, there 
could be another project/RFC to adress Tamas concerns, but I would hate 
to "loose" this feature now.  I would vote +1 and would certainly try to 
syn the php mapscript to the new additions.

Best Regards,
