[WFS-Server] DescribeFeatureType output with ows_metadataurl_type

[tomkralidis]

I have a database in which one of the column names is called "metadataurl".

When exposing via OGC:WFS, invoking a DescribeFeatureType against the typename
with this column returns an invalid XML document:

http://devgeo.cciw.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv/owscat?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=DescribeFeatureType&typename=service_resources

Invalid XML element:

<element name="metadataurl" type="FGDC"/>

In my mapfile MAP/LAYER/METADATA object, I have defined:

"ows_metadataurl_type" "FGDC"

If I change to:

"ows_metadataurl_type" "fooFGDC"

The same request responds with:

Invalid XML element:

<element name="metadataurl" type="fooFGDC"/>

So that is telling me that somewhere in mapwfs.c, around line 632, the code
somehow maps to ows_metadataurl_type because I have it defined in my mapfile,
and it's a column in my database.

Infact, as a test, I have a column in my DB called "srs".  If I define in my
mapfile an element called "ows_srs_type", this gets output in the same way.

So, if a column name in a datatype is defined in the mapfile like:

"ows_COLUMN_NAME_type" "foooo"

...then this ends up in :

<element name="COLUMN_NAME" type="foooo"/>

...when it should be "string" (or, even better, if there is a way we can figure
out what the datatype really is [integer, etc.]).

Steve: any comments here?

This is an interesting one, tripped up by my own naming conventions. What does the whole metadata block look like? What are all the column names in this case?
