Hello Alison,

so where does this leave us with support for ensembles? I think I read
your statement above to say we will follow Bryan's suggestion (or
another that doesn't use standard names) - but I could have got this
wrong.

Do we have sufficient agreement to add a new CF attribute
'standard_metadata' to a (provisional?) version of the standard? Or do
we want to look for some other way of supporting labelling of the
ensemble dimension?
