The problem is that the name always includes a timestamp and it would be
nearly impossible to guess what that was. In a way I wish we had not
included the timestamp in the design of this part of the system.
I hesitate to make all the PI metadata tables publicly available for
privacy reasons but CFHLS is different since the observing strategy is
already public information. We could copy every CFHLS table into a web
directory you could check. Does this sound like the best strategy?
