[postgis-users] Missing OpenGIS "Simple Features For SQL" compliance

Hi there,

I'm developing a OGC SF compliant geographic data view which at the moment 
can only read ERSI shapefiels and should fetch layers out of a spatial 
database in the future. At the moment I'm writing an interface for PostgreSQL 
/PostGIS which I want to make OGC compliant.  Therefore I need some SQL 
functions that test spatial relationships. 
In PostGIS these functions are operators like "&<" (overlaps) ,  "~=" 
(equals), and so on. But this is not the way it is wanted to be by the OGC.
In the "OpenGIS Simple Features Specification For SQL" Revision 1.1 these 
functions are described in subchapter 3.2.19 "SQL functions that test Spatial 
Relationships". There they are named like "Equals()", "Intersects()" ....

Now me question:
Will there be or is there a task to implement these OGC functions, too???

Hopefully,
             Martin Müller
