Dear Jonathan,
What in your view is the difference between a grid_mapping and a CRS? I've
always been a bit confused by the term "mapping" because, in my view, it
doesn't describe a mapping but a reference system (what is the "mapping"
supposed to be from and to?). I'm not suggesting that the CF data model
should describe something that is not already in CF, but I might suggest
that a more accurate name might be helpful, and may save some of the
confusion between transformations and references.
(I might be wrong on the above - I can't check the CF document at the
moment because the website is down, so I'm acting on my memory of what the
grid_mapping is.)
Jon
