I believe I sent you a list of mapserver and tinyows servers that were
buggy vs the WFS spec and that the wfs store was
configurable to work with anyways (as you may imagine, going to the server
owner and asking for an upgrade or a different
interpretation of the specs almost never works... especially if they
already have apps built on top of it, with their current behavior).
Do you still have the links? It's been so much time...

Eh, in the meantime we discovered that upgrade was botched and fixed it at
least to some extent.
Configure a wfs data store in a previous version, upgrade to a newer newer
one, and it did not work anymore.

Old thread, I need to refresh my memory.... I believe I meant centralized
as in a geotools wrapper class that does the renaming
(see that "DataUtilities.makeGmlCompatible(DataStore) -> DataStore "
suggestion).
not centralized at the GeoServer level, the : issue in GeoServer should not
be a problem, but it's a serious problem
for those upgrading apps based on geotools instead.
It might then make sense to use that class in the store factory, controlled
by a parameter I guess (at this point it's very
hard to say if it should be on or off by default, since wfs-ng has been out
for a few releases...)
