WCS survey and problems

Hi,
 
having now been using the MapServer WCS for quite a while now, I would like to list a few problems I have had (which
I am happy to help fix if given some pointers), and also to ask who else is using the WCS and for what, and where!
 
The main problems we have had are;
 
1) When ResX and ResY are not equal the getCoverage returns the first band and the other bands are blank
2) Anything involving reprojection of data fails, I have initialised the projection object in the layer, and set the output
map projection but still failure.
 
The reason for me asking is that we find the WCS to be very useful (more so than the WMS) if you have a thick client
doing analysis on the retrieved data, and we would like to assess the risks of using MapServer,and to find a way to minimise 
these (as in committing our time to a WCS project to reduce this).
 
Many thanks,
 
Norman Barker
