[Gvsig_english] WMS "EXCEPTIONS=XML" parameter

Hello Tony.

Im reading the Web Map Server Implementation Specification v1.3. Page 37:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.3.3.11 EXCEPTIONS

The optional EXCEPTIONS parameter is defined in 6.9.4. The default value 
is “XML” if this parameter is absent from the request.

A WMS shall offer one or more of the following exception reporting 
formats by listing them in separate <Format> elements inside the 
<Exceptions> element of its service metadata. The first of these formats 
must be offered by every WMS; the others are optional.

XML (mandatory)

Errors are reported using service exception XML, as specified in E.2. 
This is the default exception format if none is specified in the request.

The remaining exception formats are optional. A server may issue a 
service exception in the default XML format if a request specifies a 
different exception format not supported by the server.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that it is possible to use this parameter.

Regards,
Jorge.
