 Hello David

 > any relevant global attribute

 could be a bit problematic, how do we establish relevance?  It feels safer
 to include all global attributes on each data variable to me.

 The key aim of my question is to investigate whether we recognise the
 difference between a global attribute and a data variable attribute?

 This is an important distinction in some cases; for example, if we want to
 recreate a file exactly as it was read.

 Should a CF Field know which of it's attributes were encoded in the file
 as globals and which were encoded as data attributes?
