Greetings,

I have a user that wants to add <documentation> tags to the top level of a 
THREDDS catalog. Based on my reading of the THREDDS specification:

    
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/catalog/v1.0.2/InvCatalogSpec.html

I believe that the catalog may not contain a documentation element at the top 
level. The dataset element may contain a documentation element, but there can 
be multiple datasets at the top level of a catalog so there is no obvious (at 
least to me) way to universally identify which dataset metadata would be used 
to describe the catalog collection.

Is that correct?

Any thoughts?


Nathan
