[Chameleon] question about future/possible functionality

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Tom,

do you think VML is an option for this?

http://www.chicagotribune.com/technology/chi-011011developers.story

Are there any plans for after the 1.0 final release already?

And the interface you talk about is a few edit fields in which a user can 
type a coordinate, and then press a button so the point will be added to 
the feature?

Thanks,
Bart
