Hello devs 
 
I got into a bit of problems today trying to render a GML file, I get the features in the wrong position. (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2WxCPuMM8hEanNmSDUyVU1JRFk/edit?usp=sharing)  image
(https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2WxCPuMM8hEQkhDWUNmSEM5Qkk/edit?usp=sharing  ) gml file for France airports
 
After investigating a bit I found that 
"EPSG:4326 specifically states that the coordinate order should be latitude, longitude. Many software packages still use longitude, latitude ordering" which seems to be the case for Proj4 which is used in QGIS
+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs Now my question is how can I have the correct definition for EPSG 4326 to use? Should I create a custom CRS and how? Using windows 

Thanks for your time
