Adopt the OGC EDR API?

A possible model for a time series extraction API would be OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval. It has a bit of overhead with Capabilities, as OGC APIs often have, but should at least be considered. There may be clients out there that already support it, e.g. https://github.com/MetOffice/qgis-plugin-edr.

Existing implementations of EDR off Xarray:

• pygeoapi https://docs.pygeoapi.io/en/latest/data-publishing/ogcapi-edr.html
• xpublish https://github.com/xpublish-community/xpublish-edr - @jhamman contributed to this, btw

EDR does not support operations on the data, though, like zonal statistics (spatial map reduce), which are a key feature of TiTiler's /statistics. I have been unable to find an OGC API spec that, does, actually. We are probably moving into "processing" territory...
