Jukka, I'm a bit confused by what you tried to demonstrate with the above
examples and am not sure if you've understood the suggested change.

The above examples show that at least GeoServer and ArcGIS (and likely TinyOWS,
but couldn't open it through the proxy I'm behind) use <surfaceMember> and not
<surfaceMembers> (like MapServer and Deegree do).

Currently, MapServer emits :

<gml:MultiSurface>
  <gml:surfaceMembers>
     <gml:Polygon>...</gml:Polygon>
     <gml:Polygon>...</gml:Polygon>
  </gml:surfaceMembers>
</gml:MultiSurface>

With the proposed change, it would become :

<gml:MultiSurface>
  <gml:surfaceMember>
     <gml:Polygon>...</gml:Polygon>
  </gml:surfaceMember>
  <gml:surfaceMember>
     <gml:Polygon>...</gml:Polygon>
  </gml:surfaceMember>
</gml:MultiSurface>
