This means a shorter WKT Raster development time.641 * We do not have to reinvent the wheel for many WKT Raster functions (AsPolygon, AsRaster, AsJPEG, AsTIFF, AsPNG, etc...). This means a shorter WKT Raster development time. 642 642 643 643 * We can contribute to GDAL by fixing bugs and sometime implement new features. Actually most new WKT Raster features (eg. ST_MapAlgebra()) could be implemented in GDAL by WKT Raster folks and then used by WKT Raster.
