[OpenLayers-Dev] SRS id in BBOX parameter

Hey-

Are there people that use the HTTP protocol against services that would 
break if the BBOX query string parameter included the SRS identifier?

E.g.

http://example.com/features?bbox=1,2,3,4,foo

The WFS 1.1 spec allows clients to specify the SRS for a bounding box by 
including the SRS identifier as the fifth item in the array.  I'd like 
to add this functionality to the HTTP protocol if it wouldn't make 
existing applications break.

http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/ticket/3006

An alternative would be to only invoke this functionality if a property 
were set on the protocol.

Thanks for any feedback,
Tim
