That is the reason for my question earlier today about whether anyone can see a problem with it. I can't remember a specific reason, but maybe someone else can. For coordinate variables the specific reason is they must be unique and monotonic and that can't be done with missing data. I asked to be reminded of the present use-case because I think there should be a specific reason to *change* the convention, whatever the original reasons for it.
