+Axis Orientation in WFS 1.1  
+---------------------------
+
+The axis order in previous versions of the WFS specifications was to always use easting (x or lon ) and northing (y or lat).  WMS 1.1 specifies that, depending on the particular SRS, the x axis may or may not be oriented West-to-East, and the y axis may or may not be oriented South-to-North. The WFS portrayal operation shall account for axis order. This affects some of the EPSG codes that were commonly used such as ESPG:4326.  The current implementation makes sure that coordinates returned to the server for the GetFeature request reflect the inverse axis orders for EPSG codes between 4000 and 5000.
