Ed,

You misunderstand me. It is important to notify the MapServer developers
about the bug so they can fix it. I wasn't suggesting otherwise.

I was referring to your comment, "but the French server docs should make it
very clear that their layer names MUST be escaped" which I interpreted to
mean that you thought that the capabilities response should have special
mention about needing to encode the layer names or that they should go out
of their way to warn people about that. A compliant client application will
always encode the layer names if necessary, and a compliant server must be
able to decode the request, so what I'm saying is that if everyone follows
the specification (which is the whole idea of OGC), that there is no need
for a server with reserved characters in their names to notify people about
that.

Doug
