Yes - samplingFeature could have been used where I used coverage in my previous

Actually they are referring to the characteristics of the sampling
strategy.
This can be described in the context of the procedure/platform/sensor,
or in the context of the foi, or simply reflected by the coverage-domain
within a result expressed as a coverage. They are none of them wrong. My
sense is that common practice in the fluid-earth sciences is the latter
- mostly what is being shifted around is a
result-with-sampling-strategy-embedded-within (i.e. the grid
parameters). That's OK. IMHO the O&M model allows us to understand this
better as it provides a language to describe it.
