This is great news!  Congrats to the development group which helped
MapServer pass the test assertions at OGC CITE.

Official conformance will be very important for "OGC-compliant" software,
which many organizations will write into their requirements for projects.

Is there any works for doing the same for OGC:WFS in MapServer?
