Suggestion from the peanut gallery: Might this be an opportunity to move away 
from having CF's documentation of supported units as simply "whatever UDUnits 
supports"? It has always struck me as odd that a standard that takes such pains 
to be precise about certain aspects of what constitutes valid metadata just 
completely punts (to an entirely separate tool with no standards body behind 
it) with regards to valid units. And having just spent significant time trying 
to understand whether "Celsius" is and should be a valid unit (it is), some 
verbiage describing valid unit strings would IMO be much better than having to 
install and run a separate tool.
