Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the comments.
I remember the discussion on the need to flagging provisional files.
However, we haven't advertised this server for official dissemination,
so I didn't think the flagging was necessary at this stage. We use the
OPeNDAP server only for testing (for instance, to check which software
is able to access, read and display 5-dim fields from an aggregated
server). That is also the reason why I decided to keep the
standard_names of the variables not yet included in the list, so as to
have examples with all the required elements.
