Yes, it's crazy. I'm surprised that EPSG:4326 isn't officially deprecated (perhaps it is and I don't know!). We'll be living with the confusion for years to come I'm sure. The FAQ entry on the ncWMS website (linked below) contains a useful tip for manipulating the behaviour of OpenLayers in this regard, which may be useful to some.

Interpreting 'x' and 'y' as 'the order one prints the pair of coordinates in' was an extremely poor choice by the committee, especially since it was different in 1.1. To use 1.3 correctly, the code has to know what order the coordinates are for each projection, more or less impossible to code without a kludge or a projection database standard API.

CRS:84 is always x,y axis order. ;-) The reason is that the EPSG database uses conventions from navigation, which is latitude-longitude order. There was a mistake in WMS1.1.1 that meant that EPSG:4326 was defined with the axis order reversed. This was corrected in WMS 1.3.0 and a new CRS added (CRS:84) that is defined with longitude-latitude axis order. Thanks for those links Ivan, very helpful!

GetMap URL's that used to work fine in TDS 4.2.10 are coming up blank in 4.3.16. As a workaround, I discovered that changing my CRS from EPSG:4326 to CRS:84 fixes the problem. Seems like a bug with using EPSG:4326?? Here's an example using a ROMS ocean forecast of water temperature over central Hawaii. Using EPSG:4326 gives a blank map: http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/wms/hioos/roms_forec_regridded/hiig/ROMS_Hawaii_Regional_Ocean_Model_Regridded_best.ncd?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&LAYERS=water_temp&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=202.12371826171875,20.17714549791179,204.46517944335938,21.50418550077842&WIDTH=1705&HEIGHT=1034&TIME=2013-04-15T00:00:00Z&ELEVATION=-5&STYLES=boxfill/rainbow&NUMCOLORBANDS=256&COLORSCALERANGE=24.02441,26.03417 In contrast, if I switch this to CRS:84 I now get a color map as expected: http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/wms/hioos/roms_forec_regridded/hiig/ROMS_Hawaii_Regional_Ocean_Model_Regridded_best.ncd?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&LAYERS=water_temp&CRS=CRS:84&BBOX=202.12371826171875,20.17714549791179,204.46517944335938,21.50418550077842&WIDTH=1705&HEIGHT=1034&TIME=2013-04-15T00:00:00Z&ELEVATION=-5&STYLES=boxfill/rainbow&NUMCOLORBANDS=256&COLORSCALERANGE=24.02441,26.03417 Oh... And I just found another workaround. If I switch to WMS 1.1.1 instead of 1.3.0, EPSG:4326 also works: http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/wms/hioos/roms_forec_regridded/hiig/ROMS_Hawaii_Regional_Ocean_Model_Regridded_best.ncd?service=WMS&version=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&LAYERS=water_temp&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=202.12371826171875,20.17714549791179,204.46517944335938,21.50418550077842&WIDTH=1705&HEIGHT=1034&TIME=2013-04-15T00:00:00Z&ELEVATION=-5&STYLES=boxfill/rainbow&NUMCOLORBANDS=256&COLORSCALERANGE=24.02441,26.03417 In short, I'm hoping that somebody can fix the WMS so that EPSG:4326 will not give me blank maps in WMS 1.3.0, but I have workarounds in the meantime so it's not pressing.
