<div>This seems like a bug. It should still be able to
recognize and open the file without the type hint, whether
or not you provide a sub-dataset suffix.</div>

This is not a bug. This is intended. Subdatasets have a specific
syntax. Valid subdataset names are the ones reported under the
SUBDATASET metadata domain.<br>

<div>Our system generally relies heavily on GDAL's
usually-reliable ability to recognize file types and load
anything without such hints, so having to provide that as
well will be undesirable.</div>

This is generally true for the first level of access to a file, but
once you want a specific part (name it "variable", etc), you have to
comply with the nomenclature of each driver.<br>
