    320 The following additional schema change has been made:
    321 
    322  * the default value for !LineUsage.!VertexControl has been changed to '!OverlapWrap' in version 1.1.0 of the !SymbolDefinition schema.
    323 
    324 The default value for !VertexControl in schema version 1.0.0 is '!OverlapNone'.  With this setting symbols are distributed along the polyline according to the offset / repeat parameters, but no symbols are drawn so that they overlap a vertex where the feature geometry changes by more than the !VertexAngleLimit.  In the case of dense data (not uncommon in a mapping context) it means portions of many features will be drawn with a default solid line style instead of with the symbol defining a custom line style.
    325 
    326 Also, in the old stylization the behavior of line styles is effectively the same as with wrapping enabled.
    327 
    328 Based on these two items we feel that a default !VertexControl value of '!OverlapWrap' is a better choice, and is the value that gives the line style behavior most users are expecting.

     327The '!OverlapNoWrap' setting is no longer required.  Qualitatively it's the same as using '!OverlapNone' but with the !VertexAngleLimit set to 180 degrees or larger.
