In OGR, the GetGeometry() method from the Geometry class returns a
bounding box in the (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax) structure. However, the
SetSpatialFilterRect() method from the Layer class expects a bounding
box in the (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax) structure. This is a problem that
can be worked around, but it does generate confusion. Any reason why
this couldn't be standardized?
There are also for example in gdal_translate also "xoff yoff xsize
ysize", i.e., (xmin, ymin, xmax-xmin, ymax-ymin) and "ulx uly lrx lry",
i.e., (xmin, ymax, xmax, ymin).
I guess the main reason is that changing the interface is a major
change. So, perhaps this could be put on the list of things to consider
changing in GDAL 3.0.

Also, on a similar note, having SetSpatialFilterRect expect an array
of coordinates, instead of coordinates as individual arguements, seems
more logical to me, as it's how every other GIS package returns
bounding box info afaik, including OGR's GetGeometry.
