[Mapserver-inspire] WFS, GML output, geometry mapping

[Even Rouault]

Erik,

The work done for WFS 2.0 doesn't address the issue of generating complex GML 
schemas. For attributes, several mechanisms can be used : gml_groups, 
gml_XXXX_template, gml_xml_items mechanism can be used to generate some 
nesting for attributes (but I'd be curious to know how you do that for the 
below schema. It doesn't seem obvious to me if you have one layer attribute 
for each GML element). But for geometries, there's no such capability. Perhaps 
we would need a GML template, not at the attribute level, but at the feature 
type level.
