Error in time dimension

Hi Bjorge:

In your NcML:

  <netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2">
    <dimension name="time" length="0" />
    <variable name="time" type="int" shape="time">
     <attribute name="units" value="secs since 1970-01-01 00:00:00" />
     <attribute name="_CoordinateAxisType" value="time" />
    </variable>

    <aggregation dimName="time" type="joinNew">
     <variableAgg name="temperature" />
     ...


Remove the <dimension name="time" length="0" /> element(s), as it is overriding the time dimension constructed in the aggregation.

I think we used to require the dimension element, so it may be left over from a previous version. I will check the docs and try to clarify.
