@JonathanGregory This is all very good, and merging the two seems logical, especially as #319 is an offshoot from this issue. A couple of minor comments:
* In the definition of the `standard` calendar the switch-over date could be mentioned. How about: "`standard`: Mixed Gregorian/Julian calendar as defined by Udunits. Dates onwards from 1582-10-15 follow the Gregorian system and earlier dates follow the Julian system. This is the default." * Could the deprecation of the `gregorian` calendar be a bit more prominent? After all, it was a calendar in its own right, even though being equivalent to the `standard` calendar (or vice versa). How about below the list of calendars writing a sentence (own paragraph) like: "The `gregorian` calendar is deprecated, instead use the equivalent `standard` calendar" * Indeed, the `udunits.dat` file is outdated, see [this comment from 2017](https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/udunits/msg01006.html__;!!G2kpM7uM-TzIFchu!mIFSTaVX4Fm2mItaJJfFJYFMMFBn3jcM2G1Ox4WeX6mdMqMQED9WvHyoqqJJ9sGaphC5m9IwdAg$ ). It has been replaced by xml files, which are a bit awkward [for humans] to read. @davidhassell might have a better overview. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
