Comment (by jonathan):

 Dear all

 Arising from a comment of Nan's, I'd like to propose a further
 clarification to the text of 5.7, namely to change the first para from

   When a variable has an associated coordinate which is single-valued,
 that coordinate may be represented as a scalar variable. Since there is no
 associated dimension these scalar coordinate variables should be attached
 to a data variable via the `coordinates` attribute.

   When a variable has an associated coordinate which is single-valued,
 that coordinate may be represented as a scalar variable (i.e. a data
 variable which has no netCDF dimensions). Since there is no associated
 dimension these scalar coordinate variables should be attached to a data
 variable via the `coordinates` attribute.
