[mapserver-dev] Motion: adopt MS-RFC-123: Support for MapML output in MapServer

[Daniel Morissette]

Good question. The option to host the viewer polyfill at mapserver.org 
to offer a built-in mapml viewer mode similar to the openlayers viewer 
came up in my discussion with Peter Rushforth about the RFC.

I didn't want to add this at the last minute to the RFC, but if there is 
interest then after the initial implementation we could add a mechanism 
similar to the openlayers viewer to automagically generate a mini viewer 
page using mapml. That would imply that we host the leaflet polyfill 
viewer files at mapserver.org though.

I'm not sure if I would remove the existing openlayers viewer since it 
serves a slightly different purpose, it works for any GetMap request and 
does not require any mapml configs. My preference would be to keep it 
and to upgrade the openlayers version in MapServer 8.0.
