Comment (by jonathan):

 Dear Martin

 Thanks for your comment,
 > the relation between the data array dimensions and the domain axes is
 not stated at all.

 Actually there is text in the description of the field construct which is
 intended to address this, namely

   The shape of the data array is determined by an ordered subset of the
 domain axes. All domain axes of size greater than one must be included in
 the subset, but domain axes of size one may optionally be omitted, because
 their position in the order of domain axes makes no difference to the
 order of data elements in the array.

 The domain axes store the size of the dimensions. Does this meet the need?
 I don't think it's implementation-dependent; the dimensionality of the
 data array in the CF logical data model is the same as the dimensionality
 of the data variable in the CF-netCDF file.

 Best wishes

 Jonathan
