Dear Ben Thanks for your email and diagram. Unsurprisingly we share several concepts! Your modelis a bit closer to the netCDF data format, as is appropriate for your purpose in doing it. I see you don't have auxiliary coord vars on your diagram, unless you regard them as a subset of coord vars. (By the way, don't boundaries belong to coord vars, rather than to "CF variables"?) You recognise more specific things, like VerticalCoordinate, than I do. Certainly a vertical coordinate var is a coordinate var (I guess the arrows means "is a") but I regard its being vertical as a property which it has, rather than a thing which it is, but perhaps that's what you mean as well.
