So if you store a feature with coordinates like -181 0, -179 0, GeoServer will accept that by default (but not in cite testing mode). And it will also return coordinates like this as stored, i.e. not as 179 0, -179 0.

FeatureServer returns exactly what you give it; it doesn't know 
what a world is.
