Uses for NcML

Hi,

In the teleconference we just had about the netCDF-4/HDF5 project,
someone (Quincey? Bob?) asked about NcML.  I recommend this document
to see some of the intended uses for NcML:

Currently this sort of thing is supported for Java, but ultimately we
hope to make it possible from C as well.  Maybe you also have these
kinds of uses in mind for your XML representation of HDF5 data.
