@JonathanGregory, I reworded along these lines. https://github.com/Dave-Allured/cf-conventions/commit/ad27ae4febd4f6bb9aaa6e72ebd223cb55b03efe
After many rounds, I settled on "Attributes which affect the interpretation of values" for a single collective description of those active attributes. It's not perfect but I think it will suffice. I enhanced some wording in the third paragraph concerning purely descriptive attributes such as `long_name`. However, I did not want to move it below `formula_terms` as you requested. Notice that `formula_terms` is not a simple paragraph, but rather a longish subsection with two paragraphs and a long `formula_terms` code example. The second and third paragraphs of 7.1 together (current rev), make up a good and consistent introduction to the whole topic of boundary variable attributes. Therefore I feel that this "purely descriptive" third paragraph is best coupled with the second paragraph, and would be somewhat lost if it were moved below the entire `formula_terms` subsection. Think of it as dealing with the simple cases first, and leaving the complicated one for last. Further suggestions are welcome. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
