Daniel,

I have reviewed your updates, and I've made one more small change, removing
the "quick and dirty" part.  Permissive mode should be seen as a mechanism to
get the widest possible interoperability with clients (even slightly broken
clients), rather than as a quick and dirty approach.

The other 5.0.1 issue that I think is critical is:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2373

That is, to make sure we don't release 5.0.1 with a non-portable mapparser.c
by accident.  It seems that most of the other pending 5.0.1 milestone bugs
could be easily put off to 5.0.2 in the interest of getting 5.0.1 out the
door within a week or two.

Best regards,
