Steve,

As far as I remember we've already discussed about this topic in this list.
I don't remember about the straight conclusion of the discussion but it
seemed to me we was quite uncertain about whether we should commit ourself
to a single style representation or not. I would vote on implementing all of
the reasonable formats in parallel, but till that time implement at least
one. With that, we could move a bit further on the concept of the STYLEITEM,
which is now a privilege of the OGR driver solely.


Best regards,

Tamas
