Justin,

the only outstanding issue I can find in GSIP 61 is the bit where you say:

"WFS 2.0 adds the ability to page results of a GetFeature request via 
the startIndex and maxFeatures [sic, I think you mean count] parameters. 
The WFS specification actually implies that a service must maintain 
consistent paging results in the light of transactions, but such a 
restriction is very difficult to implement and implies that the server 
be able to store large results in memory, or maintain database 
transactions between requests which goes against the stateless nature of 
WFS all together. For this reason we ignore this requirement in our 
implementation."

I can't find anything in the spec that *requires* consistent paging 
results across transactions (but then I know transactions least of all). 
Or do you think it is just a convenient omission? I can see why it would 
make sense, and also why it would be prohibitive to implement.

Next SWG meeting is on Wednesday; still time for me to squeeze in a last 
minute change request if necessary (for WFS 2.1).

Kind regards,
Ben.
