Vote on RFC 26

[Daniel Morissette]

+1 on RFC-26 with the caveat that the old keywords should either produce 
a fatal parsing error or a msDebug() warning (level 1) to encourage 
users to upgrade. This was discussed in the thread and supported by at 
least myself and SteveW but never made it in the RFC. Something like:

"Keyword TRANSPARENCY has been renamed OPACITY in MapServer 5.0. Please 
update your mapfile."

About the queryable thing, let's forget about that for now and 
concentrate on the scale and opacity issues.
