Comment (by jonathan):

 Dear Jon

 The `grid_mapping` is so-called because of its original purpose, which is
 still its main purpose, of providing the mapping between 2D curvilinear
 (longitude, latitude) coordinates and the two horizontal dimensions of the
 grid (map projection coordinates or rotated lon-lat). We don't have to
 call it `grid_mapping` in the CF data model and indeed David and I
 proposed to call it `transform` instead, partly because we want to include
 `formula_terms` too.

 Best wishes

 Jonathan
