Hi,
if the objective is to get "what's here" regardless of any styling (and
filtering included in it) and scale considerations
then it seems to me WFS and WCS should be more of an answer to the problem.
For WFS it is not immediate, but not too hard either, to setup a query for
anything intersecting the specified point.
For WCS it's harder, one would have to setup a query for the specified
point, and ask for just one pixel, and use
the GML output format to get back something parseable.

Multidimesional data also makes things a bit more complicated. What's here
might conceivable result in a response that is
time series, or a sequence of values among different elevations, but I
guess that could be address by using
the default values for the dimensions.. which brings us back to WMS though,
since it's the only protocol
that has a notion of default dimension values (afaik)

What's here is a simple question... but the answer seems particularly
complicated :-p

Cheers
Andrea
