Hi Paul,

You have a good point here. I think we need these
improvements. There's a case for putting
removeDelegateRenderer(OptimizableFilter filter) in the
BeadFeatureRenderer interface, although this may affect some peoples'
home-grown BeadFeatureRenderers (if there are any out there).

I can't create a new account myself, but I'm happy to apply any
patches. I've noticed a bug in setDelegateRenderer which I need to fix
anyway (it doesn't check properly that the new filter is disjoint with
all other filters).

thanks,

Keith
