O.K., that was brief and non-productive....
The 'getFeature' query XML results have ms:msGeometry entries.
ie:
<ms:msGeometry>
-
<gml:Polygon srsName="EPSG:4269"> <<--------------------HERE!!
-
<gml:outerBoundaryIs>
-
<gml:LinearRing>
-
<gml:coordinates>
</gml:coordinates>
</gml:LinearRing>
</gml:outerBoundaryIs>
</gml:Polygon>
</ms:msGeometry>
Sorry about that.
