Thought I would post an update on this issue. It seems that there was some strange error in the particular FEATURENAME that I was requesting, since OGC compliant requests for a different feature managed to return the desired data sets.
NOAA once again proved to be very responsive to inquiries, contrary to my fear that a web-form email feedback would go into the vast nothingness of deep space. I am waiting to hear back regarding a subsequent issue wherein the number of points returned appears to be constrained, and also scaled based on rules that are not yet apparent to me. Stay tuned... :) Robert W.

There is no other setting in mapserver that would allow you to change the format of BBOX easily. I think the best would be for the server to respect the syntax described in the specs.
