Well, Function might be helpful then (and happily ignored by code that assumes that usual 
raster order will be used). However I'm not sure in which way GDAL is involved in this 
discussion :-) Regarding GMLJP2, GDAL will ignore Function on reading it, and not write it. So 
I think that on the read side, that should be OK in practice. So, there could potentially be 
issues on the write side for rasters generated by GDAL and read by other software that 
would assume that a georeferencing with Lat Long order would imply the raster first axis to 
be Lat ? Or perhaps issues in the GDAL WCS client ? Perhaps Jukka could give more precisions 
if there are actual interoperability problems.
