Hi Ian,
The CF Checker using UDUNITS-2 to validate the units.
This is another one of those units where UDUNITS-1 deemed it valid and
UDUNITS-2 says it's invalid.
I think the CF Document should be updated to specify validation against
UDUNITS-2 and also to remove the reference to the udunits.dat file as
this no longer exists at UDUNITS-2, instead xml files are used.
Regards,
Ros.

*The latest CF-compliance document suggests that we should look to the
udunits.dat file in the udunits package to find out if a certain unit

the CF-compliance checker, it says:*
