Hi Corey, Just to give you a "bite" on the netCDF4 issue, I don't see any reason why CF couldn't bless netcdf4 with all elements in a root group, though one could reasonably argue this isn't really any improvement on using the classic model.
It would be more useful (imho) to recommend that all subgroups are valid too. I don't think there's anything in CF that specifically needs the classic model or needs to be confined to the root group. Most of the convention is just about variables and their attributes. The only issue to sort out would be what "global" attributes should be present in the root and which in subgroups.
