Hi all - Sorry, I can't seem to log in on the trac site today so I have to reply via email.
The current conventions document does not include the update that was agreed in ticket 76, which allows a comma-separated list of conventions in the Conventions attribute. This is in section 2.6.1. We agreed to this because it's what the NetCDF Users Guide recommends. I noticed this omission when the on-line NERC CF-checker (at puma.nerc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/cf-checker.pl) complained about a compound Conventions attribute in one of my files. Can we get this change into the document? Thanks - Nan On 3/16/12 2:43 PM, Jonathan Gregory wrote:

This change should be implemented in the next version of CF, and Dave's name should then be added to the list of contributing authors. No-one objected to my first comment, so I presume it too is accepted, namely to append this sentence to the end of Dave's first proposed paragraph. "If the string contains any commas, it is assumed to be a comma-separated list." Jonathan
