Comment (by taylor13):
Thanks, David and Jonathon, for continuing to engage on this, because I
agree that it is important to try to include this in 1.7 (in support of
CMIP6). I think there is probably no harm (and may be some virtue) in
allowing the "implicit" case, so I support Jonathan's most recent proposal
and David's amendment that "it is strongly recommended that its boundary
variable has a formula_terms attribute too."
I must confess that I didn't find the text added by David at the end,
starting with "If the formula_terms attribute is omitted" to be helpful.
Perhaps it's the time of the evening or the afterglow of a nice glass of
wine, but unless Jonathan thinks this text will be understandable and
enlightening, then I would favor omitting it.
Let's try to wrap this up.
Anyone else with any objections to the proposal?
best regards,
Karl
