Hi Bart I don't know anything about these sensor protocols and formats, but isn't GetObsevation like GetFeatures and DescribeSensor like DescribeFeatureType? The type of objects our protocols currently deal with are features (i.e. objects to be added to a vector layer), so if my previous sentence is correct it'd make sense that the sensor protocol do GetObservation requests. A DescribeSensor format could still be written, but it wouldn't be used from within a protocol. Note that this is just my gut feeling.
