 Dear Mark

 In [https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/95#comment:52 comment 52] I
 wrote

   Each field construct ... may optionally contain:

   * An unordered collection of dimension coordinate constructs.

 You suggest

   Each Field Construct may optionally contain:

   * dimension_coords: A collection of dimension coordinate constructs.

 To be honest, I don't think this adds clarity for me. I think that if I
 say, "the field's dimension coordinate constructs", then it must be
 referring to the "unordered collection of dimension coordinate constructs"
 that the field contains. That seems intuitive and obvious to me.

 I would not call them "the field's dimension coordinates" (without
 "constructs") because that would be confusing. A dimension coordinate
 construct contains an array of coordinate values. Those values are "the
 coordinates". The construct is more than "coordinates"; it also contains
 properties, bounds, and so on.

 Best wishes

 Jonathan
