Hi Sean,
From your description, it sounds like you're confusing valid_min and
valid_max
with actual_min and actual_max. The former attributes define
theoretical extrema, beyond which data is considered invalid (e.g

I run into this frequently, especially with files that do not come
from carefully crafted official archives. I regard all flavors of
range attributes as frequently unreliable. I think best practice is
to extract ranges directly from the coordinate values when plotting
data on the fly, and
