Hi Piano Player;

You are certainly getting a lot of background information here; I would 
love to see some of this captured on the wiki. I think this is more on 
the design of the coverage api than I have seen in a while. Once you 
have had time to digest all of this perhaps you can help me make sense 
of it? I am mostly interested in making sure the APIs between 
implementor and client code are solid.

I really liked Adrians missive on the importance of the "GridCoverage" 
abstraction; actually acquiring one is the part I want to see cleaned 
up. I belive everyone is happy with the (now ISO based) core abstraction 
that is GridCoverage.

For reference the "best" practise followed by most projects is 
documented here:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/01+Format

In actual fact most people dodge the "Format" and make direct use of a 
constructor to create a GridCoverageReader.
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/02+GridCoverageReader

Ciao,
Jody
