I've always had an issue with the commands like this http://www.ebi.ac.uk/das-srv/genomicdas/das/eqtl_rat_cis_fat

response is a good idea.
What would you put there? HTML "welcome" information (which seems
to be ProServer's current behaviour)? DAS XML? (in which case...
the relevant SOURCE element, or something else)? DAS XML with some
strong encouragement for servers to attach a stylesheet to turn it
into something readable if you hit it with a browser?
DAS sources XML seems the obvious choice, and existing sources XSL
stylesheets should parse it anyway.
