[Sorry for the late response: long weekend in Western Australia] Christian,
this functionality would be useful for WFS as well, and would be even better if it was defined per-layer. In particular, app-schema WFS feature types can only be returned in one GML subtype as their information model is defined in an application schema that uses a particular version of GML. Current behaviour is to return garbage if the client guesses the wrong type. WFS has an outputFormats list in the capabilities document for each feature type. Have you considered supporting a per-layer mime type whitelist, and expanding the implementation to WFS? Kind regards, Ben.
