[Mapserver-users] WMS styles

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Bart,

  There was a discussion on this issue (Named Styles) at the beggining 
of the project that lead to the SLD implication. We discussed internally 
a couple of ideas where we would introduce a level in the map 
architecture that allows the grouping classes.  I was supposed to push 
this discussion further with the mapserver community but did not due to 
limitation in time. So the quick ansswer is : I would like to see this 
happning but we do not have any plan for it in the near future.

Later,
