[Live-demo] review of pgRouting Overview docs

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi Cameron,

Thank you for the review! About the "Implemented Standards" I wasn't sure it
is a necessary part of the template or not. But you're right, it's not
necessary for pgRouting.

> Advantages of the database routing approach are:
>
>    - Data and attributes can be modified by many clients, like Quantum GIS<?ui=2&ik=569523816d&view=att&th=12a18f9b9ea59333&attid=0.0.1.4&disp=emb&zw>and
>    uDig through JDBC, ODBC, or directly using Pl/pgSQL. The clients can
>    either be PCs or mobile devices.
>    - Data changes can be reflected instantaneously through the routing
>    engine. There is no need for precalculation.
>    - The “cost” parameter can be dynamically calculated through SQL and
>    its value can come from multiple fields or tables.
