[THREDDS #HKN-141488]: SRS status in THREDDS

Hi Steve,

As was announced in a recent TDS release, the TDS WMS service now includes 
EPSG:3857 in its list of supported SRS/CRS. This means that map images from WMS 
can be requested on this CRS.

The TDS still cannot read data in this CRS so it can't serve data stored in 
this CRS. Also, the TDS WCS service does not support reprojecting data so it 
cannot support this CRS as output.

Hope that helps,

Ethan
