[GRASSLIST:511] layers for Digital Chart of the World

Here is my opinion on the priority:
SeaShore
Country
Region
Water bodies (river/lakes/glaciars)
City (several layers to separate big citys from small ones
Other Human structres like Airports and Ports
Florests (is it possible ??)

You probably all know about the quality controled GMT datasets?
They might provide a better base than DCW.

BTW: I still think posting HTML messages to the list is not polite.

Unfortunately neither ellipsoid nor datum is known for
GMT GSHHS data. The data end up shifted (several hundred meters).

We had to find out what CIA was using in the 80s to produce
the WDB-II data which was the base of GMT GSHHS data.
