Re: The "Resolution global grid" requirement

Hi Alejandro, Frans,

admittedly I also cannot imagine what's behind this requirement.

Should "represent" mean "can be served by W3C interfaces"? From a logical
perspective, a [-180:+180] extent is just a special case (it seems not under
consideration by this requirement what happens beyond that).

Should it mean that a coverage must be able to span the planet? This is not an
interface question (which is the level I believe is discussed by W3C) but a
matter of scalable implementation (which is individual to the tools out there).
Desirable resolution, OTOH, is highly case dependent - 90m may or may not be
adequate.

Bottom line: don't see the contribution of this requirement.
