[mapserver-dev] RFC 67 - Enable/Disable Layers in OGC Web Services

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

We could consider supporting the more specific OWS block with an option to populate it
via standard metadata for backwards compatibility. Then if users want the extra control
the OWS block would provide they'd need to move to definition via that mechanism.

E.g. wms_title key maps to a title key in the OWS block.

IIRC, the reason why we didn't choice that option was because it would have 
require too many mapfile modifications for the users.

Daniel, please correct me if I'm wrong.
