Hi,

Can it really be so that in WFS 1.1.0 the meaning of BBOX given without 
projection is different when using http GET Key Value Pair (&BBOX=...) than 
when using http POST and BBOX given inside a Filter?  I have understood that in 
the latter case if BBOX is given without srsName the default is the same than 
the default srsName of the FeatureType.  Now I have been reading from the 
standard that if the BBOX is given withour crsuri as a KVP then the default is 
WGS84.  If this is the case I feel it is a bit odd but because it is WFS 
standard I would not be surprised.

Excerpt from the OGC WFS 1.1.0 standard (OGC 04-094)

14.3.3 Bounding box
The bounding box parameter, BBOX, is included in this specification for 
convenience as a shorthand representation of the very common a bounding box 
filter which would be expressed in much longer form using XML and the filter 
encoding described in [3]. A BBOX applies to all feature types listed in the 
request.
The KVP encoding for a bounding box is defined in subclause 10.2.3 of normative 
reference [15]. The general form of the parameter is:
BBOX=lcc1,lcc2,...,lccN,ucc1,ucc2,...uccN[,crsuri]
where lcc means Lower Corner Coordinate, ucc means Upper Corner Coordinate and 
crsuri means the URI reference to the coordinate system being used. This 
encoding allows N coordinates for each corner listed in the order of the 
optional crsuri. If the crsuri is not specified then the 2-D coordinates shall 
be specified using decimal degrees and WGS84 as described in [15].
