> -cell locations because a domain axis can be associated with at most
-one dimension coordinate construct, whose data array values must all
-be non-missing and strictly monotonically increasing or
-decreasing. They must also all be of the same numeric data type. If
-cell bounds are provided, then each cell must have exactly two
-vertices. CF-netCDF coordinate variables and numeric scalar coordinate
-variables correspond to dimension coordinate constructs.
+locate the cells of the domain and which depend on a subset of the
+domain axis constructs. A coordinate construct consists of an optional
+data array of the coordinate values spanning the subset of the domain
+axis constructs, properties to describe the coordinates (in the same
+sense as for the field construct), an optional data array of cell
+bounds recording the extents of each cell, and any extra arrays needed
+to interpret the cell bounds values. In CF-netCDF, the data array of
+the coordinate values is required, execpt for the special cases
+described below.

The "In CF-netCDF, " text should not be there, as it could conceivably imply 
that the array of coordinate values is always optional in the data model, which 
it is not.
