I broadly agree with @rmendels 
(https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/222#issuecomment-572780372)
 and @JonathanGregory three points 
(https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/222#issuecomment-569325165).
 This is not a bad idea, but it is also not one that has a trivial 
implementation, and so would need some work before it should be accepted. My 
interest is a general one, but also as developer of CF-compliant software: 
`cfdm` and `cf-python`. These libraries currently ignore WKT. I would be happy 
to so extend them so that they did, but that is probably not a 5-minute job, as 
there first need to exist the well-defined mapping between those parts of WKT 
that correspond to CF parameters.



Expanding on one of the aforementioned points:

- _We would have to revise (or consider revising) CF whenever the definition of 
WKT was amended_. On the face of it, this is the same issue that incorporating 
UGRID into CF has (https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/153). 
However, the UGRID and CF communities overlap considerably, and it will be a 
**rule** that the UGRID experts consider CF when making changes, and also 
consider UGRID when CF changes. WKT will, I presume, evolve with no such 
reference CF.

Thanks,
David
