I know Tamas has something grander planned but it seems a ways off and implementation with queries may be problematic anyway. We could use the featureList structures that form a linked list containing shapeObj's. I've always been a bit hesitant to do this because with large datasets you could use a ton of memory, but the performance bottlenecks with the two-pass query probably out weigh that problem. If folks are somewhat positive about the idea I'd be glad to work up an RFC...

Wouldn't this be quite similar to storing query results in a separate
layer which I think was discussed not long ago?
