Perfect, thanks Nan for this update.  

I agree with credit to the NUG and CF conventions.  I've found it helpful to keep all the attributes in one place for cross-referencing, I'll probably create a separate page for that (or something) before too long.

In the course of actually trying to implement NetCDF + COARDS + CF + NODC NetCDF  + ACDD per the latest recommendations on the Working page, I've found some issues. So I will continue to update that Working document unless/until someone says I shouldn't.

Please let me know if you know of a nice description of a standard way to represent 3D (lat/lon/depth) region with WKT?
