Wow..

That's *really* surprising.. I thought this was the most common use case 
of all - aren't virtually ALL satellite images a little rotated? Ah, 
this SLD spec.....

But let's talk about the workarounds then. Is it fairly easy to build a 
single-image mosaic out of a GridCoverageReader or something of the 
like? Could you point me to the best reference around for image mosaics?

Thanks for all
Milton
