 geolocation. The information needed to geolocate the domain is split -
 some of it is contained by the coordinate constructs themselves (typically
 by the standard name and units) and some of it is contained elsewhere
 (typically by grid_mapping or formula_terms). It is  this latter
 information which we are encapsulating in the georeference construct.

 David,

 I'm trying to figure out if we have an actual disagreement about the
 purpose and meaning of the grid_mapping variable / construct, or if I am
 misunderstanding what you are saying.  Do you agree that a grid_mapping
 variable declares the Geographic / Geodetic Coordinate Reference System
 (CRS) that one or more coordinate variables are defined with respect to?

 Grace and peace,

 Jim
