Dear all Thanks for your postings. There seems to be a consensus on this. I have therefore changed my existing trac ticket 85 accordingly https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/85 to record this consensus. Note that this means we have to amend section 9.6 as well, which explicitly disallowed missing data in aux coord vars (except for nonexistent elements). We have to change this, or else it would not be legal for Nan to store her profiles with missing pressure in discrete sampling geometries following sect 9, for instance.
I hope I've got this right. Ticket 85 is a defect ticket, intended to correct mistakes uncontroversially! Therefore if anyone isn't happy with this, they should object on the ticket, and we'll need to open a different one to discuss another way to modify the convention.
