Hi all,

Running the wfs 1.1 cite tests popped out some issues with the bug fix 
for GEOS-2583, which outputs bounds for wfs 1.1 feature collections, and 
respects the service "featureBounding" configuration.

The issues (of course) pops up in corner cases, such as encoding feature 
collections which have no geometric attributes, and empty feature 
collections. The first is a bug in the construction of simple feature 
types. Filed here:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-2373

The fix is more or less trivial, but to do it cleanly requires a change 
to a geoapi interface :( Which then requires us to do another geoapi 
milestone release, etc... I could hack around the problem and 
instantiate the SimpleFeatureTypeImpl directly... but I can see people 
having an issue with this, including myself.

The issue of empty feature collection is an issue with one of the gml 
bindings, and is easily fixed.

So options on how to proceed:

1) do the right thing, fix the bug in geotools, update geoapi and push 
back the release a few days

2) roll back the fix for GEOS-2583, and live with the bug until the next 
release.

3) hack around the problem for now in geotools, and "promise" to fix it 
correctly for 1.7.4.

Thoughts? I personally am ok with pushing back the release a few days to 
do the fix properly. Serves us right for trying to fix bugs at the last 
minute ;).
