Yes.

Yes.

Hm. that's a point. Most people who think about 'types' in this way are
actually talking about feature types. I hadn't thaough about that. How
is 'myns:BUILTUPA_1M' described in the JSON now?

You can. Any GeoJSON app I build will display attribute/property labels
as strings in the UI, so I won't do that for my data, but there's no
reason it shouldn't work.

Yeah. I'm not really sure what to do about '@type' -- it sounds like
your'e saying you have data which isn't exposed in GeoJSON, and will be
in GeoJDIL, and I don't really like that, and would like to think about
how to fix it.
