ยท Are you sure you need a standard name such as "time_label_iso8601"?
I mean: isn't it possible to use "time" standard name instead? (And
put somewhere that it is ISO 8601 compliant information, like in
'long name' attribute)
It is possible and I can think of several alternative ways of doing that
('comments' variable attribute?). I am not sure though if it would be
appropriate to use the standard name associated with numerical time data.
Actually, I don't think it is possible to use 'time' standard name in
such cases. If I correctly interpret CF rules for using standard names,
'time' data can be only in the physically-equivalent units to "seconds".
Strings, being dimensionless, do not qualify.
