Dear all

I propose the deletion of the `Conventions` attribute from Examples 7.15 and 
7.16 in Section 7.5 on Geometries. Although it may seem odd to delete 
information, I think the attribute here isn't really informative. Including it 
is a defect, and removing it is a correction. My reasons for thinking this are:

* These are the only examples in the whole document that contain the 
`Conventions` attribute (as has been discussed 
[elsewhere](https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/343__;!!G2kpM7uM-TzIFchu!lJKLLEgFIS978-g1FEkm1y-XAq_lDg_DebgjNjIPqJkwOXPkfg04gWe2SxHhs0F_kyWKiR2gvcc$
 )), so it's inconsistent. We couldn't make the document consistent by 
including `Conventions` in all other examples, because most of them are just 
fragments of CDL. They don't show global attributes, which would be irrelevant 
and hence distracting to the point being illustrated.

* Keeping `Conventions` only in these two examples might imply it was 
particularly significant, more than in all other examples which don't include 
it. This isn't so. I guess that it might have been included to make the point, 
at the time the proposal was drafted, that the feature didn't exist in the 
version that was the present release at that time. Maybe @dblodgett can 
remember?

Best wishes

Jonathan
