This works perfectly for me.  Missing 1x1 deg tiles from a bounding box are 
correctly reported as missing, and if there is missing data within a tile, it 
also is reported as missing.  Thanks!

Suggestion for improvement:  when the data file supplied to Mapserver is 
Geotiff, and a " NoData Value" is supplied, automatically use it as a null 
value for the layer.

Glenn,

You can define in the LAYER.METADATA section things like for WCS 1.0 and WCS
1.1

"wcs_rangeset_nullvalue" "-32767"

Actually I see this wasn't documented. I've just added it in 
http://mapserver.org/ogc/wcs_server.html

For WCS 2, use "wcs_nilvalues"
