      \brief Spatial capabilities include the ability to filter spatial data.

      A service that supports spatial filtering shall
      include a spatial capabilities section in the capabilities
      document that it returns. Spatial capabilities include
      the ability to filter spatial data of specified geometry
      types based on the definition of a bounding box (BBOX) as well
      as the ability to process the spatial operators defined by
      CQL and the Simple Features for SQL specification:
      <ul>
      <li>Equals</li>
      <li>Disjoint</li>
      <li>Touches</li>
      <li>Within</li>
      <li>Overlaps</li>
      <li>Crosses</li>
      <li>Intersects</li>
      <li>Contains</li>
      <li>DWithin</li>
      <li>Beyond</li>
