Dear @AndersMS 

Thanks (and to @erget) for the reference to the subsampled coordinates issue.

That would be fine. The last sentence in the new text could changed to read:

"*Multiple* domain variables may exist in a file, with or without other data
variables. Note that the data variable attributes describing its
domain can not be replaced by a reference to a domain variable."

As @JonathanGregory says, this is no problem. I don't think that this needs 
special mention, as this is has always been true of all types of variables.

@JonathanGregory and all - I'll update the PR next week for the various new 
bits of text.
