In looking at the geoserver documentation, it shows that a bounding box filter would be sent by appending the following to the URL request:

&filter=<ogc:Filter
xmlns:ogc="http://ogc.org"; xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml";>
<ogc:BBOX>
<ogc:PropertyName>the_geom</ogc:PropertyName>
<gml:Box srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml";>
<gml:coordinates>-73.99,40.76 -73.92,40.80</gml:coordinates>
</gml:Box>
</ogc:BBOX>
</ogc:Filter>

This is quite wordy and I was wondering if I could user the shorthand version "&BBOX=" instead of this detailed ogc:Filter string.

Is it possible to include BBOX filter as a shorthand parameter to a WFS call? For example, 
appending "&BBOX--71,42,-70,43" to a WFS call?

WFS layers include this automatically. Can you provide an example of
what's causing problems for you so we can better understand it?
