Having blank spaces in names would break other CF conventions like use of the 
ancillary variables attribute.

"The attribute ancillary_variables is used to express these types of 
relationships. It is a string attribute whose value is a blank separated list 
of variable names. "

How to parse this?
  float q_error_limit(time)
    q_error_limit:standard_name = "specific humidity standard error" ;
    q_error_limit:units = "g/g" ;
