5.0-beta1 tomorrow ...

[Steve Lime]

I would move RFC 31 to the new features section as that doesn't really fix an issue as
much as introduce new functionality.

I would not mention RFC 25. We should revisit the notions of that RFC and, in particular,
Frank's reply to it in the next week or so. The cellsize adjusting code and the macros in
mapserver.h all support the center to center model. WCS and WMS (server) adjust for
the difference. I'm not certain about the WMS client code.
