Dear Bert I agree that it is important to distinguish whether values are points or averages. This distinction is made in CF by cell_methods, which indicates the interpretation for each axis. We already recommend that cell_methods be included for all spatiotemporal axes, so I suppose the checker should warn if this is not so. Furthermore, we already have a recommendation that bounds should be included unless cell_methods says the data applies to grid-points; that answers Karl's comment, I think. (I'd forgotten this recommendation.)
