[THREDDS #OKW-963505]: Problem accessing observations on THREDDS server

Luke,

Thanks for the report.  You're not doing anything wrong, that query should 
work. It's an issue I recently hit while trying to put together some examples.

We're working on the issue currently, and you can track its progress here:

Thanks!

Ryan

> Hello,
