Ron, looks like we "wildly agree" (nice term I learnt recently): in a GetCoverage response there is the coverage payload + metadata. I do like the idea of having a canonical + complete metadata set in XML (ok, GML) I also have advocated that, in case the server erroneously puts divergent metadata into format header and XML, the XML data prevail. Quite some folks alternatively want to have a "stripped" response without XML and MIME encapsulation (or whatever), though. That's where we have to live with incomplete metadata then - but IMHO this is a user's informed decision then. Va bene. Ron Lake wrote:
Peter:There is no conflict between TIFF and GML -- just some of the TIFF (if you used GeoTiff) would be redundantly encoded in GML. Very few GML coverages would use XML To carry the "pixel" values -- so there is no problem with Tiff, JPG, JP2, etc. Ron
