I kind of view answer user email and having user documentation as on the 
same level. But we
have considerable work to be done before I worry about this....  For 
GeoTools 2.4 I am asking
for a *single* page of user documentation and conformance (if a test can 
be provided).

The fact that the WFS module is a DataStore and does not introduce any 
new API should
make this task easier.

The hard part is that WFS is very dependent on servers implementing the 
specification
exactly. If I was module maintainer I would make a wiki page out of what 
worked
and what does not work in order to cut down on email.

The other hard thing is that the WFS datastore does not support the 
latest specification
- it would be worthwhile making sure the error message in this case was 
very clear.
