Dear @JonathanGregory, yes, I also wasn't entirely happy with the word "count". I assumed that something like a fractional count would not be uncommon, but that might well be due to a lack in my understanding of the english language. I am happy with the term number as well.
It think the first instance of `as a count` can be removed. I just added it to create a reference from the unit in the `units` attribute to the number. We could probably change the wording of the units to `... units of the time coordinate variable (containing the unit of the number and the reference date-time)...`. I just want to avoid the `unit of time` as referring to time in this place feels a little bit like a cycle in reasoning. Then for the last part we could maybe try something like `...it is assumed that the coordinate value advances by exactly 60 seconds from the start of any minute...` or something similar in more proper english 😬. I'd like to point out that the 60 seconds are not about the actual time passed but about the amount of seconds the _number_ has changed. I'll have a look at the other points.
