[OpenLayers-Dev] proposal for a new addin: sosclient

[Roald de Wit]

Hi Bart,

To me It seems like this all could go into the core of OL: SOS is an OGC 
standard and it will be just another format that OL supports 
(hopefully). Of course OL is growing bigger with every release, which 
will push more people to make customised versions for themselves when 
they feel it's getting too big. But that is another issue.

Regards, Roald
