Documentation:
A GetFeature element contains one or more Query elements that describe a query operation on one feature type. In response to a GetFeature request, a Web Feature Service must be able to generate a GML2 response that validates using a schema generated by the DescribeFeatureType request. A Web Feature Service may support other possibly non-XML (and even binary) output formats as long as those formats are advertised in the capabilities document.

            A GetFeature element contains one or more Query elements

            that describe a query operation on one feature type.  In

            response to a GetFeature request, a Web Feature Service

            must be able to generate a GML2 response that validates

            using a schema generated by the DescribeFeatureType request.

            A Web Feature Service may support other possibly non-XML

            (and even binary) output formats as long as those formats

            are advertised in the capabilities document.

               The outputFormat attribute is used to specify the output

               format that the Web Feature Service should generate in

               response to a GetFeature or GetFeatureWithLock element.

               The default value of GML2 indicates that the output is an

               XML document that conforms to the Geography Markup Language

               (GML) Implementation Specification V2.0.



               Other values may be used to specify other formats as long

               as those values are advertised in the capabilities document.

               For example, the value WKB may be used to indicate that a 

               Well Known Binary format be used to encode the output.

               The maxFeatures attribute is used to specify the maximum

               number of features that a GetFeature operation should

               generate (regardless of the actual number of query hits).
