Dear John and Benno No, CF doesn't specifically exclude add_offset for coordinate variables, but it only talks about it regarding packing data variables, and in Table A it is listed only as an attribute of data variables, not coordinate variables. I think that's because coordinate variables don't take up so much space anyway so there is not the same need for packing.
