[OSGeo-Discuss] Input regarding Axis Order Confusion

[Paul Ramsey]

Actually, what you'll see is that uDig did when confronted with the 
WMS1.3 conundrum: request version no higher than 1.1.1. The nice thing 
about 1.3 servers is that they tend to support *all* versions, so just 
always using VERSION=1.1.1 guarantees an easy dodge of the problem.

Since functionality was *removed* from 1.3, *and* the axis order was 
reversed for fun, there is no *benefit* to using 1.3, except it has a 
higher version number.  Vote with your code, keep VERSION <= 1.1.1
