[mapserver-dev] Motion: Adopt RFC 62 - Support Additional WFS GetFeature Output Formats

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

That's cool. It does force folks to ponder security. A couple ones I came up with (now that I have thought about it more):

  - divulging data unintentionally (same issue exists with GML and is mitigated through metadata)
  - excessive memory consumption for large datasets compiled in memory. I've no idea if this is real or not since I don't know how GDAL works.

Steve,

I have added:

"""
Security Implications
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are no apparent security implications to this proposal.
"""

Of course, what I mean are that there are no security implications
clear to *me*.  I may not be very perceptive about it.

Best regards,
