 In the qml-File informations about datasource or layername are
 stored.[[BR]]

 {{{
 <datasource>dbname='bla' host=localhost port=123 user='test'
 table="zonenplan"."grundnutzung" (wkb_geometry) sql=</datasource>
     <layername>grundnutzung</layername>
 }}}
 Furthermore the classificationfield is stored as column-number and not
 with the fieldname.[[BR]]

 {{{
 <classificationfield>13</classificationfield>
 }}}

 Thus at the moment it's not possible to use a QML-Style for more than one
 layer. If you use it with another layer QGIS renders nothing or in some
 cases still crashes.
 However I think the sense of a QML-Style is using it for more than one
 layer because for use with one layer we have the standard style.
 So, are there any reasons for saving all these informations in the QML-
 Style?
