idgen

               The idgen attribute control how a WFS generates identifiers
               from newly created feature instances using the Insert action.
               The default action is to have the WFS generate a new id for
               the features.  This is also backward compatible with WFS 1.0
               where the only action was for the WFS to generate an new id.
