Hi,

Doesn't this suit what is said about version number negotiation in the 
standard?  I was reading this
http://cite.opengeospatial.org/OGCTestData/wms/1.1.1/spec/wms1.1.1.html#basic_elements.version

Another story is that I guess that  requests without version numbers are meant 
to work only for GetCapabilities. But if we are lenient then perhaps it is 
better to follow the same rules that with GetCapabilities always instead of 
creating different rules. Personally I would prefer to deny totally other 
requests than GetCapabilities without version number. Possibility to do so just 
makes lazy programmers to make applications which do not work together with 
other WFS server brands.

Hi,
as you probably all know when we specify no version number in a request, we get 
back a response
matching the highest available version:

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/ows?service=WFS&request=GetFeature&typeName=topp:tasmania_cities&maxFeatures=50

However, what would you expect from this:

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/topp/ows?service=WFS&request=GetFeature&typeName=topp:tasmania_cities&maxFeatures=50&version=10.0.0

Honestly, I would have expected a service exception, but GeoServer returns a 
response in version 2.0 instead.
Isn't this a bit too much leniency?

Cheers
Andrea
