[udig-devel] GML loading - over the top?

[Chris Holmes]

Well, it's not surprising at all that snowflake's stuff parses it fine,
since snowflake's a UK company, and they got started parsing OS Master Map
GML data.  I'm sure they've built more generic stuff by now, but I'm pretty
sure they built their original parsers to just deal with OS data.
