Hi Norman & all,
This is not an ideal solution, and I welcome comments on how we can go about changing this. Rectifying the grid to evenly spaced means a change to the original dataset (though it is necessary to make geotiff).
Hopefully this will be something that we can push into the GML in JPEG2000
coverage format.

I feel uncomfortable about a WCS that more or less silently does an
interpolation. It also contradicts the WCS preamble that stresses the
original data quality. IMHO any interpolation should be explicit to the
requestor. So the consequence for me is that functionality should be
available that allows to generate inbetweenings.
My suggestion is to put such functionality not into a WCS 1.1, but into
the WCPS (Web Coverage Processing Service) recently proposed where a
coverage language allows to arbitrarily combine request facets. WCS I
think would suffer from too much changing it (some reasons: we see
change requests coming up in line, with many desirable operations -
where is the limit, are they mutually axclusive or combined, and in
particular: how stable can WCS get?).
