WCS map file

Dear listers,
I am trying to give WCS access to a Landsat5 layer. The original image
tiles are available in GDAL virtual files and each one of the virtual
files is calling 3 different ArcInfo grids (one for each tile visual
band - RGB).
Part of my map file is as follows:
...
wcs_formats 'GEOTIFF'
wcs_nativeformat'"8-bit GeoTIFF'
wcs_rangeset_axes 'bands'
wcs_rangeset_name 'bands'
wcs_rangeset_description 'Enter some clever description of each TM
band here...'
wcs_rangeset_label 'Band Number'
wcs_rangeset_values '1,2,3'
wcs_rangeset_rangeitem '_bands'
...
When I issue a DecribeCoverage request:
http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wcs?REQUEST=DescribeCoverage&COVERAGE=landsat_europe&SERVICE=WCS&map=wcs.map
the returned info inside the "Axis_Description" element is as follows:
<rangeSet>
<RangeSet>
<description>Enter some clever description of each TM band
here...</description>
<name>bands</name>
<label>Band Number</label>
<axisDescription>
<AxisDescription>
<name>bands</name>
<label>Bands/Channels/Samples</label>
<values>
<singleValue>1</singleValue>
</values>
</AxisDescription>
</axisDescription>
</RangeSet>
</rangeSet>
Shouldn't I have 3 values inside the "values" element (one for each band)?
How can I describe each band number? I would like to add some info
relating to the wavelengths.
Even with this describe coverage result I can request all the bands
from the server (with the below request for instance):
http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wcs?REQUEST=GetCoverage&COVERAGE=landsat_europe&SERVICE=WCS&map=wcs.map&FORMAT=geotiff&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-9,38.5,-8.5,39&RESX=0.0027778&RESY=0.0027778&bands=1,2,3
Regards,
Nuno
