Dear Jon If we decide to let cell_methods indicate "vagueness" I don't think it's a problem if the bounds themselves are precise. The precision is somewhat irrelevant, as you say, but it shouldn't be misleading in view of the cell_methods. Changing cell_methods is a small alteration to the CF standard, whereas introducing alternative ways of representing time is a large and complex change, which would require substantial alteration to software as well.
