Steve,
Are you pointing to
"""
*ows/wfs_geomtype*
(Optional, metadata shared with OGR output[1]). Set the geometry type of OGR layers
created from this MapServer LAYER. One of “Point”, “LineString”, “Polygon”, “MultiPoint”,
“MultiLineString”, “MultiPolygon”, “GeometryCollection”, “Geometry”, or “None”
"""
???
I don't see any contradiction between the 2 pages, so not sure you are pointing to this.
What I pointed to was "gml_geometries" "none"
Actually when looking in the code, my feeling is that "ows_geomtype" "None" works
mostly for OGR output. "ows_geomtype" is only taken into account by GML output to
determine if the geometry is 2.5D or not. What a mess !
