Dear Peter, In the last 48 hours, a couple of people have pointed me to your document at [1]. The Community Group process is there to be used exactly as you are doing so: gathering ideas and seeing what might need future standardisation - thank you. However, it is notable that there is at least some overlap in what you're doing and the OGC/W3C WG [2] that, like your CG, came out of last year's workshop. By sending this e-mail (archived in the SDW WG's public comments list), I'm passing on the question I'm being asked: can you please comment on how you see the relationship between what you're doing and the SDW WG's work? As I see it, yes, there is overlap, but there are also distinctions. The SDW WG is explicitly not chartered to create map rendering technologies and so the <map> element that you're focussing on is out of scope for the SDW WG. Even so, it would be good to have some liaison/communication between the two groups. Thanks Phil.
