Oh yeah, I was not planning to add explicit changes to the XML POST.
If the user wants to use this feature, they can post to
ows?format_options=shapefileEncoding:ISO-8859-1

and the dispatcher will take care of that.

Mumble... another option that might work is to include the parameter
in the output format, but there would be no way to advertise it:
outputFormat=SHAPE-ZIP;encoding=ISO-8859-1

That would work cleanly with POST as well thought.

Cheers
Andrea

PS: the point of advertising the param is quite moot imho, what
software can actually use advertised params?
We're talking of an extension to a non standard format, no
automatic software can do anything intelligently with it
anyways afaik.
