Documentation:
The handle attribute allows a client application to assign a client-generated identifier for the Query. The handle is included to facilitate error reporting. If one Query in a GetFeature request causes an exception, a WFS may report the handle to indicate which query element failed. If the a handle is not present, the WFS may use other means to localize the error (e.g. line numbers).
