I see.

To me GetCapabilities of http://http://maps.zh.ch/wfs/FnsNSWFS should also
be more specific. Currently there's no geometry hint (and it even issues
warnings about missing EXTENT).

So,given it's DescribeFeatureType would report
type="gml:SurfacePropertyType" would the WFS reader of GDAL work?

I thought, most WFS clients/converters read GetCapabilities, not
DescribeFeatureType.

Yours, Stefan
