James,

I would suggest you do a DescribeFeatureType in IE and post the resulting XML.
There may be something in the resulting XML that is invalid or at least
confusing to MapInfo.  I gather MapInfo operates as a WFS client?  Is that
readonly or transactional too?  I have trouble keeping up with who does what,
and would be interested to hear if MapInfo proves to be a useful desktop
client for WFS servers.

Best regards,
