Right, but I guess it would work because MS accepts both "aster_gdem"
and "ms:aster_gdem" in the "typeName" attribute of the "wfs:Query"
tag.

    featureType: "aster_gdem",
    featurePrefix: null,
    featureNS: "http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapserver"

should also work.

And for this to work I guess we only need something like the following
in the WFST format constructor:

if(options.featureNS) {
    this.setNamespace("feature", options.featureNS);
}
