Detailed Description
This is the analogue of the ForecastModel class At present, the DataPoint API appears not to support the 'nearestlatlon' form of location specifier.
This is inconvenient, to say the least!

Get the raw data (Json format).
Use as you please but the library increasingly uses the XML methods.
- Parameters
-
period Currently this must be 'hourly'. May change in the future. site Most likely to be a site Id, eg '3772' gets you the data for Heathrow Airport. extra Usually {}.
- Returns
- Decoded JSON dictionary.

Construct a dictionary for decoding abbreviations into user-friendly forms.
Deals with a couple of current special cases.
- Parameters
-
doc An XML document as returned from getRawXmlObsData.

This, on the other hand, works fine given a valid location Id.
I have chosen not to provide a mechanism for specifying a specific time (which would have to be in the last 24 hours). It is simpler to get all the data (24 observations) and extract the one that you want.

For now, this method is not supported by the DataPoint API (apparently).
It always returns an empty list of Observation objects. However, it does not throw an exception because the API returns just the parameter decoding information. One day we may be able to use it.
