Comment (by biard):
I think it looks great!
I would prefer to see Section 2.2.1 above add the sentence
This usage is deprecated except when the version of netCDF being used does
not support unsigned types.
I would also prefer for Section 2.2.1 to include the 'short' type for the
NUG convention, as there is no reason to limit it to 'byte' type, but
there is long history there. I am aware of multiple datasets in the wild
that use this convention for storing unsigned shorts in netCDF-3. If this
feels like too much, then worry about it later/elsewhere.
