Or make the needed fixes in the GDAL drivers. But OGDI is less than maintained, 
so I 
strongly think that the corresponding GDAL own drivers are more capable.
One thing that makes me think that the raster OGDI driver isn't used is that 
nobody has 
raised bugs on it in recent years as far as I can remember, and I don't believe 
in perfect 
software. Something that is used inevitably generates bug reports (valid or 
invalid), 
questions, enhancement requests, etc..
