The standard also says:

"If the crsuri is not specified then the 2-D coordinates shall be specified 
using decimal degrees and WGS84 as described in [15]. "

Thus if BBOX is given with just 4 parameters it should mean EPSG:4326 and 
Northing-Easting order in WFS 1.1.0.  In WFS 1.0.0 BBOX defaults naturally to 
the default srsName because no other coordinate systems are supported. Some WFS 
servers are following the standard literally, some others have selected to keep 
backward compability and WFS 1.1.0 behaves like WFS 1.0.0. I believe that 
Geoserver is doing the latter.  A general advice could be to give BBOX always 
with 5 parameters when using WFS version 1.1.0.  Unfortunately there exist WFS 
1.1.0 servers which do not accept BBOX with 5 parameters at all.

Hi all, I have yet another newbie question. (Funny how I'm still coming up with 
them, 4 or 5 years on. It's my cultivation of the Zen "beginner's mind", don't 
you know.)

Anyway, I have an application offering some nice layers stored in the standard 
GCS for Wisconsin, which happens to be EPSG:3071. What I would like to do is 
offer a GetFeature service to cell phones, which of course tend to use 
something more like EPSG:4326. I have been unable to come up with a set of 
parameters to GetFeature that will work.

Basically I'd like the phone to supply a location and have the service return 
the feature(s) at that location. I thought I could do it with a BBOX, but 
unless I supply the BBOX in EPSG:3071, it doesn't go. And of course the SRSNAME 
parameter to GetFeature specifies the SRS of the response, not that of the 
query. I can't think of a way to do it with a Filter either.

Any ideas? I could have the phone app use PROJ4JS to convert the coordinates, 
but that seems like a lot of heavy lifting when GeoServer certainly has the 
mechanisms to do the conversion.

...&BBOX=lonMin,latMin,lonMax,latMax,EPSG:4326&...

Cheers
