Description
The WFS Server document (http://mapserver.org/trunk/ogc/wfs_server.html) seems to have a few flaws related to SRS handling.
In the section "Rules for Handling SRS in MapServer WFS" it states "Contrary to WMS, the OGC WFS specification doesn’t allow a layer (feature type) to be advertised in more than one SRS." This is true for WFS 1.0, but not for WFS 1.1. In WFS 1.1 a FeatureType has a list of SRSes and one marked as default:
<FeatureType> <Name>popplace</Name> <Title>popplace</Title> <DefaultSRS>urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326</DefaultSRS> <OtherSRS>urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4269</OtherSRS> <OtherSRS>urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3978</OtherSRS>
Also further down in the document the "wfs_srs" metadata item is defined for maps and layers, and in each it says "See the notes below about the SRS rules in the WFS.", but there is no notes about SRS'es below that I can see. It should likely refer to notes _above_ assuming this is meant to refer to the previously quoted section.
Fixed for 6.0 and trunk documentation in r12033. Closing. Please check, and reopen if not satisfactory.
