[THREDDS #MHO-737897]: Quickie: How to specify an NcML file in a THREDDS catalog

Hi Rich:

The trick is that the NcML is logically independent of the TDS Catalog, if you 
put it in its own file you can point ToolsUI or IDV at it. Anyway, here are 
some examples, let me know if they suffice:

> <dataset name="UMB Mass Bay Model (2000-2001)" serviceName="TEST"
> urlPath="local_test.ncml"/>
> </catalog>

> What should be the "serviceType"?   Do I need a "dataFormat"?
