 This is the section about versions negotiation in WMS specification[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 1. If a version unknown to the server and higher than the lowest supported
 version is requested, the   server should send the highest version to
 supports that is less than the requested version.
 [[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 2. If a version lower than any of those known to the server is requested,
 then the server shall  send the lowest version it supports.
 [[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 So, for the current implementation of OgcServer in webTier, there's a
 potential issue for an unknown version which just greater than the lowest
 supported version and less than any other supported versions.
 [[BR]]
 For example, MapGuide support 1.0.0 and 1.1.0. if there's a 1.0.5 request,
 MapGuide should reply a 1.0.0. However, the response is the highest
 version in cuurent implementation.

 MapGuide already supported all the possible versions of WMS, nervertheless
 it's still a potential issue.
