I was poking around on intake-stac today and @scottyhq pointed me to this issue. I really like @benbovy's idea of specifying an IO backend that would be accessed from xarray...

Just to expand on that. I think one of the issues with a generic `xr.open_dataset` is that it can be hide the user from the actual kwargs that they have...

Ok I made https://github.com/jsignell/xpystac closely based off of https://github.com/TomAugspurger/staccontainers.

I'm trying to think what the next steps are here. I am happy to move `xpystac` into `stac-utils` for visibility. Then maybe pystac would want to have a `to_xarray` stub...
