Hi Frank,
Apologies if this is a dense question, but is it correct to assume the
following:
1) create an XML file similar to this one that points at valid WCS service:
<WCS_GDAL>
<ServiceURL>http://maps.gdal.org/cgi-bin/mapserv_dem?</ServiceURL>
<CoverageName>srtmplus_raw</CoverageName>
</WCS_GDAL>
2. Create a Mapserver LAYER with TYPE raster, and where the DATA line
points to the above-mentioned XML file.

Is that it?
Yes

Mapserver to use GDAL to query the WCS via the XML file? (whew, say
that 3x fast)
No, nothing special. As far as MapServer knows this is just
another raster file. I will note that the XML file with the WCS
definition needs to be writable as the first time it is accessed
GDAL will fetch the WCS capabilities and add a bunch more detail in
the XML file. You might want to even trigger this in advance with
gdalinfo to ensure things are working ok.
Best regards,
