Heiko, We worked with John Caron several years ago to get these into the CDM in the NetCDF-Java library, so if you have g1 or g2 coordinates they will work with codes that use NetCDF-java (like the Matlab NCTOOLBOX and Unidata's IDV), and I remember we drafted up some documentation to submit to CF, but looks like we dropped the ball. I'll pick it up again.
