[wfs-dev] Axis Ordering in GML

Question for the group. Is the GML below legal?

<gml:Point 
srsName="EPSG:4326"><gml:coordinates>-172.335,18.53916667</gml:coordinates></gml:Point>

I have built a GML point that references EPSG:4326 but has the easting 
before the northing.

If I check your WFS 1.0 servers, will I find them returning GML in 
easting/northing order or northing/easting order for EPSG:4326? This is 
both a theory and practice problem. In theory, what should happen, and 
in practice, what are people doing?

Paul
