plans for exposing more GEOS methods using WFS?

[Steve Lime]

I actually was thinking about this the other day. I had thought that we
could extend msQueryByShape to
take an operator as Assefa suggests with the default being intersects
as it is now. Perhaps writing a new
function makes more sense since the existing function respects
tolerances and such with the new one 
wouldn't have to. Shouldn't be too difficult...

Bart,

  Not that I know of.  One way to approach is to to have some
msQueryxxx 
function in the query code (equivalent to msQueryByShape) that could 
take the spatial operator as argument and do the query respecting this

operator.  From wfs, It could then be a simple matter of calling the 
query function with the appropriate operator.
Steve, what do you think ?

Later,
