Hi Andrew,
in geotools we call this issue "pixel is center" vs " pixel is corner".
OGC mandates the "pixel is center" interpretation as far as I know, see
also:
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/122670/is-there-a-standard-for-the-coordinates-of-pixels-in-georeferenced-rasters
http://mapserver.org/fr/development/rfc/ms-rfc-107.html

As far as I know, GeoTools tries to work "pixel is center" from beginning
to end, and there
are no ways to control that, also, WCS follows the OGC interpretation
strictly and does not
offer a way to return "pixel is corner" rasters, but I may  be wrong.
I'm cc'ing Daniele, he should know more on this matter.

That said, especially in WCS 2.0, built to be extensible, one could put
together a vendor profile that allows controlling
the pixel interpretation for the outputs.

Cheers
Andrea
