Thanks Carlo for your observations, I fully agree with your proposal for these 
important improvements.

I would just add that a better handling of both mapfile and layer metadata 
would definitely lead to a better map documentation (map metadata could 
contain map and layer descriptions).

I would suggest to move this discussion in the developer list and that you put 
your proposal in a more structured and "formal" RFC on mapstorer wiki.

The RFC will be discussed and examined by the steering comitee and all 
interested users can participate to the discussion, and after a vote the 
proposal will be approved or rejected.

I really hope we will succeed in raising some funds for this important 
development.

Regards.
