[CF-metadata] question about use of standard name to identify coord vars associated with a grid...

Howdy all!

Here's a question about section 5.6, Grid mappings and projections, of
the CF document.

>From the CF document:

   "A CF compliant application can determine that rlon and rlat are
   longitude and latitude values in the rotated grid by recognizing the
   standard names grid_longitude and grid_latitude."

But if there were two rotated pole grids in the same file, then the
standard names would not allow me to associate the appropriate rlat
and rlon coordinates with the grid, because there would be two of
each.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Ed
