Steve,

I looked it over and it seems fine.

Why can only the BANDS processing item be changed?  In an effort to avoid
security holes?  I think that always letting clients select other band
combinations should not even be enabled by default.  I don't know too
much about the mechanism used to restrict what options can be set in the
URL though I have seen some discussion of it.  Can it be extended to items
for the PROCESSING flag?

I have cc:ed this to the dev list since my last email directly to you was
bounced by UMN as being from an illegitimate from address ... I guess pobox.com
has made it into some SPAM list or other.

Best regards,
