nowadays the recommended order is 'Latitude, Longitude'. However OpenLayers
by default expects 'Longitude, Latitude'. The GML format recognises this
and provides a 'xy' parameter to swap the order if necessary.

I'm using a WFS and WPS which according to the specs should return
'Latitude, Longitude'. Since GeoJSON is so much easier to use than GML, I
was wondering if adding the xy parameter to the GeoJSON format is desired.

Hi Steven. As far as I know the GeoJSON specs say nothing about coordinate
order. A xy option to the format would make sense to me.
