Support for netCDF-4 is a bit more complicated...

Unfortunately, because HDF5 does not support shared dimensions, one loses important semantics by reading netcdf-4 through hdf5 API. For example, its not possible to fully support CF Conventions without shared dimensions. I would recommend writing your congressman about getting HDF5 to support shared dimensions ;^)
