Here is the original text (as of 13:28, 20 November 2014):

The NUG does not require any global attributes, though it recommends and 
defines_*two,*_ title _*and*_ _**_history; CF specifies _*many*_ more. 
ACDD 1.3 adopts all CF 1.6 global attributes. _*We modify the syntax of 
the 'Conventions' attribute; *_we adopt the NUG recommendation to supply 
all conventions in a single attribute. _*This change has been approved 
by*_ the _*CF *_Conventions _*Committee and will be part of CF 1.7, 
which is not yet published.*_


and my revision (as of 09:20, 8 December 2014)

The NUG does not require any global attributes, though it recommends and defines three, title, history, and Conventions. CF specifies more: institution, source, references, comment, and featureType. ACDD 1.3 adopts all CF 1.6 global attributes. In a change from ACDD 1.2, we adopt the NUG recommendation to supply all conventions in the single Conventions attribute.
