>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.
