In my spare time sitting in a long meeting, I have been taking  a look
at the GIS module in a bit more detail. I have a few comments.

My source data file is here..

http://zamdhis.dynalias.org/geoserver/wfs?request=GetFeature&typename=who:HFC_GPS_ZAMBIA&outputformat=json&srsname=EPSG:4326

This is the GeoJSON output of facilities in Zambia (those that are available).

Now, because we are using the DHIS 1.4 naming convention, where a
prefix of the province has been added to the name of the facility. The
basic problem here is that there are differences between the names of
the facilities in the DB and the names in the GeoJSON files. Luckily,
there is a common code that would allow the data to be matched, but I
can only match the JSON file on the name of the facility. Possible
solutions? Change the source file is an option. Allowing matching on
another field in the database would be a better option perhaps.

Also, since there are some 1500 points or so in the file, the browser
"greys out" sometimes, which seems really to be a performance issue.
Obviously, we cannot simplify point files, which can speed up the
performance of polygon layers in the client. Thoughts?
