[ESIP-CF] Esip-cf Digest, Vol 4, Issue 3

[Ted Habermann]

Upendra,

I agree that the ACDD can be very useful, particularly compared to a bare-bones CF compliant file. At the same time, there are significant limitations to the current conventions as described on the wiki page I mentioned. I would very much like to hear comments from the group on those limitations or possible solutions...
