 Jonathan:

 Thanks for the clarification on the rules.  I think your wording of the
 caveat is more clear.  Here is the update.

 To update the CF metadata conventions standard document requires changing
 a two rows in Table A.1 Attributes in Appendix A.

 (1) In the "add_offset" row, the "Use" column needs to change from "D" to
 "C, D"

 (2) In the "scale_factor" row, the "Use" column needs to change from "D"
 to "C, D"

 In addition, the following statement will be added to the "Description"
 cell in Table A.1 Attributes for attributes scale_factor and add_offset.

 "In cases where there is a strong constraint on dataset size, it is
 allowed to pack the coordinate variables (using add_offset and/or
 scale_factor), but this is not recommended in general."

 very repspectfully,

 randy
