Some of it still looks to me like problems with the document your are 
xlink:href-ing to in the metadata element. Can you send me what that 
document looks like?

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it depends on how you 
define your XML Schema. The THREDDS InvCatalog schema is defined so that 
the order of the elements (in most cases) matters.

What version of the schema are you looking at? The datasetRoot element 
has been in the 1.0.1 version since July of 2005. Are you using the 
schema distributed with your version of the TDS? What version of the TDS 
are you running?

Can you send me the documentation element you tried and the error 
messages you got? I might be able to figure something out from that.

If it isn't too much trouble, that might make things easier. But we 
might be getting close as it is. So, ...
