WFS 1.1.0 SHAPE-ZIP output generates shapefile with lat/long instead of long/lat
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3657
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3657
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: WFS
    Affects Versions: 1.7.6
            Reporter: BartV
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor

Projection is EPSG:4326 (WGS 84)
Example request:

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?request=getfeature&service=wfs&version=1.1.0&typename=World:worldcountries&outputformat=SHAPE-ZIP

=> Will produce a shapefile that is inversed (lat & long switched) in ArcGIS

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?request=getfeature&service=wfs&version=1.0.0&typename=World:worldcountries&outputformat=SHAPE-ZIP

=> Will produce a correct shapefile in ArcGIS

This is in contradiction with this page:
http://docs.geoserver.org/1.7.x/en/user/services/wfs/basics.html

"...GeoServer, however, in an attempt to minimize confusion and increase interoperability, has adopted the following conventions when specifying projections in the follow formats:
EPSG:xxxx - longitude/latitude..."
