@martinjuckes You and I seem to be talking past one another. I started with a 
conceptual definition, then proceeded to a technical definition. I did this for 
dimension coordinate variables and auxiliary coordinate variables. I am quite 
confident that anyone who was given that text could figure out which variables 
in a file were dimension or auxiliary coordinate variables, and know that 
certain forms were reserved and/or prohibited. A tutorial on "how to work with 
a thing" is not the same as a convention that defines a thing and the rules 
governing it.
