Dear @Dave-Allured 

Thanks for the text. I have a couple of comments.

  * I suggest omitting the word "functional", which occurs twice. It's not 
obvious (to me) what it might mean exactly, and I think that really you're 
defining what it means by going on to describe the two groups concerned. The 
word "functional" therefore doesn't add any information but might puzzle the 
reader.

  * You mention `long_name` as an example but it's not one of the attributes 
"controlled" by this restriction. The reader might wonder about it. Perhaps it 
would be better not to mention `long_name` in this paragraph. We could add a 
final paragraph, after `formula_terms`, to say something like, "Other 
attributes not mentioned above, such as `long_name`, may have different values 
for the coordinate and boundary variable, if present on both." 

Jonathan
