RE: GDAL netcdf convention CF support

NOTE: The galeon mailing list is no longer active. The list archives are made available for historical reasons.

This is great news, a good step along the road we're all headed. Norman 
mentioned what is also the end game for us - the WCS *spec* supports arbitrary 
1-,2-,3- or 4-d slices in a fully 4-d dataset, eg:
*3-d volume (lat-lon-height): http://glue.badc.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mapserv?REQUEST=GetCoverage&SERVICE=WCS&Version=1.0.0&Coverage=temperature&BBOX=-180,-90,179,90,0,1000&CRS=some3dCRS&FORMAT=CF-netCDF
*Hovmuller (lat vs time): http://glue.badc.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mapserv?REQUEST=GetCoverage&SERVICE=WCS&Version=1.0.0&Coverage=temp&BBOX=10,-90,10,90,500,500&TIME=1996/2005/1&CRS=some3dCRS&FORMAT=netCDF 

*Vertical slice through atmosphere (lat vs height):
http://glue.badc.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mapserv?REQUEST=GetCoverage&SERVICE=WCS&Version=1.0.0&Coverage=temp&BBOX=10,-90,10,90,0,1000&CRS=some3dCRS&FORMAT=netCDF

These are all *valid WCS requests*!!! My understanding, however, is that 
fundamental 2-D limitations in GDAL will make this extremely difficult to 
achieve in Mapserver - any views to the contrary?
