>I understand that netCDF coordinate variables have to be strictly monotonic, and no-one wants to define what this means for the general case of strings; that is fine.
in CDM, monontonicity is required to make the 1D coordinate maps invertible. For string valued coordinates, the equivilent requirement is uniqueness. Im not sure if CF data model states this or not.
