Hi Jukka,
the main reason to guess the native SRS is just an accuracy one, most
GeoServer clients pick the first bbox we publish as the native
one, and if that is correct, you get less distortion in your output, either
because you're doing less resampling operations on your
raster data, or for vector data, because you're avoiding potential datum
shifts that can also incur in severe errors.

The second one is of course the convenience, in Tore's case he's not
getting the full bbox in the form by default, but just half of it

Cheers
Andrea
