Dear John et al > The actual CF convention says "should", im not sure why > **http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/requirements-and-recommendations/1.5/ > says "must".
My reading is that "should" and "must" mean the same and that the convention, as it stands, requires CF-netCDF files to have the .nc suffix. This statement has been there since the dawn of time, but it could be proposed for deletion, or for downgrading to a recommendation, at the next version of CF.
