ConeSearch and TabularSkyService

[Tony Linde]

Thanks, Ray. But can a cone search include the TABLE/COLUMN/etc info? would
it be relevant? I assume not as a cone search only uses set parameters. And
if not isn't it simply a SkyService?

Doesn't matter I suppose but it came up in another context and I thought it
confusing.

Cheers,
Tony.
