Description

It is suggested to provide a general facility for including processing instructions in the opendap-ps configuration file. For example, there might be a need for excluding variables from the resulting OODT profile on a per-dataset basis. Such an instruction could be inserted in the opendapps.xml file in the form:

<processingInstructions>
<processingInstruction name="excludeVariables" value="site_x, params"/>
</processingInstructions>

In the future, other similar instructions could be included in this all-purpose container as needed.
