[QGIS-Developer] Embedded styling in some datatypes

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

Hi list -

I'm wondering about how to use embedded styling in certain types of file 
formats (like MapInfo Tab). I know its possible to read the embedded 
styling from a Tab fil and then convert it to a styling object in QGIS.

However, what about the other direction ? Take a specific QGIS style 
from the layer styling of a tab file, and and write the specific style 
into the feature, so it will be present if you later open the tab file 
in (gasp!) MapIno ?

The use case would be organisations that have a mixed environment of 
QGIS and MapInfo installations. It would allow QGIS users to create and 
update object in a .tab file and save the file. Later this file - if 
opened in MapInfo (or QGIS) - would be shown with the correct embedded 
styling.
