How about the following features in the next version of netCDF ?
1. String data type
I heard this is in the works.
2. Hidden variables:
These can be used to make up an attribute list, but would
not "exist" or atleast would not be displayed by ncdump.
3. Adopt TeX/LaTeX styles as standard for labels (ie B_{x,z})
So that plotting programs are able to do sub/superscript
labelling of plots by picking the info. off a netCDF.
I can't do much about 1. and 2., but I have adopted 3. as a local standard.
Your views would be greatly appreciated.
best regards
