Description

Most of the data consumers from WFS need the geometry but sometimes, the service can provide data for charts or HTML tables where geometry would slow down the data retrieval due to geometry size in response.

I'm not sure if the specification implicitly manage this use case as I didn't found a way to do it from my understanding of the current Core spec.

Start by reading the OGC API Features Core specification and the WFS use case described in the issue. Determine whether the specification already supports omitting geometry for chart or HTML-table responses; done requires a decided, clearly defined specification change or confirmation that existing behavior is sufficient.
