Hi,

Is there any way to get the time positions of a layer advertised in WCS 2.0.1 DescribeCoverage? They are listed with WCS 1.0.0 but as can be checked with the demo service:
WCS 1.0.0 with time positions https://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wcs?SERVICE=wcs&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeCoverage&COVERAGE=modis
WCS 2.0.1 that is unaware of times
https://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wcs?SERVICE=wcs&VERSION=2.0.1&REQUEST=DescribeCoverage&COVERAGEID=modis

Another service https://beta-karttakuva.maanmittauslaitos.fi/wcs/service/ows?service=WCS&version=2.0.1&request=DescribeCoverage&coverageID=ortokuva__ortokuva
puts timePositions into WCS 2.0.1 like this
<gmlcov:metadata>
<gmlcov:Extension>
<wcsgs:TimeDomain default="2021-12-31T00:00:00.000Z">
<gml:TimeInstant gml:id="ortokuva__ortokuva_td_0">
<gml:timePosition>1985-12-31T00:00:00.000Z</gml:timePosition>
</gml:TimeInstant>

I have already learned that Mapserver cannot handle time as a dimension like Geoserver does https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2019-January/080917.html but it would be nice at least to have some way to show the users which time periods are available.

Another little issue with Mapserver WCS 2.0.1 is that it shows the coordinate axis labels of EPSG:3067 this way
<gml:Envelope srsName=http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3067 axisLabels="x y" uomLabels="m m" srsDimension="2">

Obviously there is no way to change axisLabels into "E N" but I hope I am wrong.
