[mapserver-dev] MS RFC 68: Support for combining features from multiple layers (Updated)

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Tamas,

I really like the current version of RFC-68. This is a feature that I 
wish we had implemented a while ago.

Just one quick question on terminology, why did you choose to use 
"CONNECTIONTYPE COMBINE" instead of possibly "CONNECTIONTYPE UNION"?
I'm asking this since the term "combine" led to confusion in the initial 
RFC-68 discussions a few weeks ago and the term "union" seemed better 
for everyone. Perhaps Jeff and other people closer to the users can 
comment on the best term to use?

Daniel
