Hi Steve

As for example LABELANGLEITEM and LABELSIZEITEM were thrown out in MS
5.0, we will have a some headache moving to 5.0 (go find all the files
using in and change them all manually and this during production).
Seeing the Scale issues headache was increasing. As said, we have
hundreds of MapFiles around, and I find that backward compatibility is
crucial.

And btw, for non English speaking people "MinScaleDenom" will be far
more confusing then "MinScale" (which is to me and to any client I ever
met crystal clear). Denom sounds to us more as an after shave as
something else (or was it Denim?) ...

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
Flavio Hendry
