Arnulf,

Supporting native attribute filters is really something that Assefa
would need to commit to, though some approaches would require
broader consideration.  However, I am willing to take a crack at
allowing a NULL bbox to be passed through the query machinery
in use.   Do you think that would be sufficient/helpful for your case
or do you really need the attribute filtering done right?

PS. If the bbox work is sufficient, and if there isn't already a bug
report on the issue please create one addressing just the need for
null bboxes in some circumstances (such as WFS queries without
a spatial component).

Best regards,
