Thanks Trond.

This works well if I want to require a TIME parameter.  I'd like to be able
to respond to requests with or without the TIME parameter (since it is
optional even if advertised as a dimension).

If there's not another solution, I'll code something to modify the
connection string if the TIME parameter is sent.  Thanks for the idea.

Perhaps wms_timeitem is not supposed to be used for cascading WMS.
