More followup-

In a recent note, I talked about VisAD having a TrivialCoordinateSystem
that would just return the values passed in.  This would be useful
in creating CartesianProductCoordinateSystems where you want only
one of the RealTypes in the RealTupleType to have some other
transform.

In an upcoming release of visad, there will be a new class:
visad.IdentityCoordinateSystem (name changed from Trivial to 
reflect the mathematical nature of the transform).  But for those
of you who can't wait, I've attached the source code to this message.
