touche!

Too many people forget the case of a feature with (possibly multiple) coverage-valued properties. When 
scientific people complain that this ISO/OGC stuff "is just GIS" I robustly respond that actually 
the concepts are as revolutionary to traditional GIS as to us scientific users. Let's please leave behind 
these old notions of "raster" vs "vector", and realise that actually we can model the 
world in whatever complex way is necessary.
