What would make sense to me is that the GetFeature provides the filter
sent in the request in addition to the received features.

This won't provide the user with the clicked lonlat but with a bbox
(Filter.Spatial) whose center is the clicked lonlat, which should be
ok.

For this I think we need support from the protocols, with read()
attaching the filter to the Protocol.Response object. We also need to
have GetFeature provides the Protocol.Response object instead of the
array of features. This may change the GetFeature API though.
