John, Just to clarify, I'm not seeking to CF-ize the WRF NetCDF output (although that would also be nice), but instead to create a simpler, more efficient, more portable and maintainable method to create the WRF INPUT NetCDF files. I'll ask the http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/wrf-users list, as you suggested, and also http://forum.wrfforum.com/.
