Found some people were setting the wmsLayer's wmsVersion property to 1.3.0.
This is actually not supported, as GWC doesn't know how to flip the axis order of bounds for lat/lon or Y/X projections (as it doesn't know about projections at all).
This was causing GetMap requests to be sent with the VERSION=1.3.0 parameter but with bounds coordinates in lon/lat instead of lat/lon.

So as a first measure, make it explicit that's not supported in the schema so that such a setting breaks when validating geowebcache.xml at startup.
