Hello All,

Section 2.6.3, External Variables, of version 1.7 of the standard contains the 
statement that:"The only CF standard attribute which is allowed to refer to 
external variables is cell_measures."

I believe this is stronger than intended: it should be possible, for instance, 
to refer to external variables in the comment and history attributes, and any 
other free text attribute, or the comment part of the cell_methods string. 

Should it say something along the lines of:
"The only attribute which is allowed to make a CF standard reference to 
external variables is cell_measures"?

regards,
Martin
