Dear David I think you were quite right to point out there's an inconsistency, or at least a lack of clarity. Something should be said in the section on compression by gathering about auxiliary coordinate variables, cell measures and other things which might share the compressed dimensions of the data variables, especially aux coord vars, because of the explicit rule about their dimensions having to be a subset of the data variable's. I think that compression should either be required, or prohibited, in the latter case requiring an exception to that rule. Maybe I'm confused now?
