Sorry, but given that the client cannot do any meaningful filter because the actual schema is not the one in which the features are returned, I fail to see the use of XSLT for schema mapping unless the client uses a plain jane G > You are right there is no value using XSLT over an introspected > private feature type, cos if you know that you have a private > agreement and you can hard-code anything you like. XSLT that replaces the returned GML is uselss for any kind of generic client, no matter if the original feature type is introspected or community. > all this is kinda academic unless the ability to use XSLT is actually > being contemplated.

Oh, so all of this would just be a way to work around issues in the encoder? This is such a small corner case that I won't waste my time on such an implementation. An XSLT output format can be much more powerful than this for people that are coding up custom clients, and there are many of those today. And there are also people that asked about it because of the very practical reasons they are proficient with XSLT and thus they can get whatever they need (e.g., an HTML output, a pure text file, a custom json representation) -> an output format that they are looking for, but that has not been coded yet.
