#103: Corrections to Appendices A and  H
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------

     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new                          
 Priority:  medium          |   Milestone:                               
Component:  cf-conventions  |     Version:                               
 Keywords:                  |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 === Appendix A: ===

  * `cf_role`, `featureType`, `instance_dimension` and `sample_dimension`
 should all be of type "S" not C or N.

  * It is not obvious that the "Use" should be D for `instance_dimension`
 and `sample_dimension`. The count and index variables are not data
 variables, but not coord vars either.  Suggest putting "-" for them, and
 add to the key that "-" is for variables with a special purpose.

 === Appendix H: ===

  * Section H2: In the examples `station_name` is an auxiliary coord var
 and so needs to be identified as one in the `coordinates` attribute.

  * Section H2: `_FillValue` for the variables `humidity` and `temp` should
 be -999.9f

  * Example H8: `coordinates` attribute for `pressure`, `temperature` and
 `humidity` should be set to "time lon lat z"

 I've not looked beyond Section H4 so some of these might apply there as
 well.
