Unfortunately not. OGC thought it was obvious the order was lat/lon when they released WFS 1.0, everybody went lon/lat instead (industry standard instead of ancient geographer standard), so in WFS 1.1 they changed the way a srs is expressed to the urn form and make the order they wanted to be explicit, deprecating WFS 1.0. If you are playing with Geoserver the documented I linked before tells you the rule: if in the capabilities the srs is in EPSG:XYWZ form it's lon/lat, if it's in the urn form it's lat/lon. Or alternatively, if you are using WFS 1.1 and WMS 1.3, lat/lon by default, if you are using WFS 1.0 and WMS 1.1 lon/lat by default Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
