Dear @Dave-Allured You're right, I didn't notice this statement further down:

Yes, I do think it would be better further up, at the end of the year-zero paragraph, so all the general points are made together. Since it applies to any restriction on dates, not just year zero but also e.g. there is no 31st of any month in the 360-day calendar, I suggest stating it more generally - and concisely: > Dates which are not permitted in the calendar of the time coordinate variable > cannot be encoded as time coordinate values and must not be used in the > reference date/time string. There is one occurrence of "date/time" in the present version of the standard and none of "date-time" so I won't dispute it! I will note that https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/pull/316__;!!G2kpM7uM-TzIFchu!nIyCKo-BLO3GfTK39C5h7kvoyazumZ2oXTHO_qfR1upEqz6dz_VPvYbLYwRq6_I0YD0QFGLkqx8$ should be amended. I note that "preceding" has a typo. Please add yourself to the list of authors. Best wishes and thanks Jonathan -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
