HI @zklaus : good point about the existing rules.

Regarding your use case; wouldn't that use case be covered by setting the 
`long_name` to "Temperature time-series from the Umeå station"? The current 
convention appears to permit "Umeå_station", but not "Umeå station" (blanks not 
allowed).

The cfchecker (4.0) takes a narrower view of what is allowed, restricting 
variable names to string matching the python regex: `'^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$'`.
