Comment (by markh):

 An issue I don't think we have addressed yet is the interpretation of
 attribute types (variable and global) within the data model.

 Each variable in a file defines a dictionary of attributes, which live
 with that variable, whatever type that variable is.

 The file also defines a global attributes dictionary.

 As the CF model states:
   This data model makes a central assumption that each field construct is
 independent.

 should the global attributes dictionary information be recognised and
 referenced by each data variable independently?

 should these global attributes be handled separately from the variable
 attributes?
