[Geojson] boundedBy?

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi list,

one thing I am currently missing in GeoJSON is the ability to specify a
boundedBy property, i.e. the box which encompasses the whole geometry.

In GML this can be specified using a boundedBy property which contains a Box
geometry.

Ofcourse OpenLayers can also calculate the bounds for you in javascript, but
it might be useful to have the server do this for some use cases.

Has this been discussed before?

Best regards,
Bart
