Hi,

I made a patch a few months ago to support tiff files made by mapinfo: 
these are plain tiff files accompanied by a .tab file with metadata, 
written in a mapinfo specific format.  I integrated this option in the 
geotiff reader.
How it works: if there is no metadata in the tiff (so it is not geotiff) 
and there is also not a .wld file, it will as a third option check for a 
.tab file and support this (instead of rejecting it because of missing 
any metadata).
In other words, this is additional support/functionality that does not 
affect any other functionality or API.

I thought it might be interesting to have this available for everyone, 
so it would be nice if it were accepted in geoserver.
See https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/321
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4619

Kind Regards
Niels
