Documentation:
The handle attribute allows a client application to assign a client-generated request identifier to an Insert action. The handle is included to facilitate error reporting. If an Insert action in a Transaction request fails, then a WFS may include the handle in an exception report to localize the error. If no handle is included of the offending Insert element then a WFS may employee other means of localizing the error (e.g. line number).
