OWS Context and Catalog interfaces don't allow you to associate a WFS Layer with a WMS layer. This would be very useful in a search and discovery interface where a user starts a search using a WMS interface and then changes to WFS when you finally want to download a large dataset.
A context format like the following might work:
<Layer queryable="0" hidden="0">
<Server service="OGC:WMS" version="1.0.0" title="OGC:WMS" default="1">
<OnlineResource xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://localhost:8080/wms"/>
</Server>
<Server service="OGC:WFS" version="1.0.0" title="OGC:WFS">
<OnlineResource xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://localhost:8080/wms"/>
</Server>
<Name>basic</Name>
<Title>World Basemap</Title>
<SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS>
</Layer>
Note, this means that a WFS layer should be inserted inside a LAYER tag instead of a FEATURETYPE tag.
Similarly, COVERAGE should
Similarly, COVERAGE should be included inside the LAYER tag with <Server service="Coverage" ... >;
