[Esip-documentation] ACDD convention documentation is updated

[Nan Galbraith]

HI all -

I made a small change to the v1.3 page; the text at the end of the section
'Alignment with NetCDF and CF Conventions' said:

'In a change from ACDD 1.2, we adopt the NUG recommendation to supply
all conventions in the single Conventions attribute. '

however that change was already made in 1.2, so I edited the sentence to
say 'a change from ACDD 1.1'.

I plan to stay with 1.2, so this is a reasonably important point in the
documentation, from my perspective.  Although 1.2 was not formally
released, it serves my purposes better than 1.3 does, because it includes
usable definitions for roles and file dates.

The page in question is at
http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Attribute_Convention_for_Data_Discovery_1-3
if anyone wants to roll back that change.

Cheers -
Nan
