Steven,

Thanks for the excellent post.  I'd be interested in following up on the
singleband / multiband issue with MapServer WCS when you have time.  I
vaguely recall there being an issue with this at one point but I thought it
was solved quite a while ago.  So if it persists in 5.6.0 I'd love a chance
to fix it.

Andrea / Simone,

I have set myself to watch GEOS-3702.  I'd like to be sure we all reach
the same understanding of the specification.
