[thredds] difference in WCS GetCapabilities response between 4.0.x and 3.0.x

Hello All,

it appears that TDS 4.0.17 is returning a slightly different XML
response for a GetCapabilities response than 3.16.  I'm also finding
that ESRI clients cannot consume the 4.0.17-hosted version while the
3.16-hosted version works OK.  This second issue may be unrelated to the
first.

Is a difference in the responses between the versions expected?

I've attached two examples for comparison.

Thanks!
