[CF-metadata] [FRANCE] Question about CF Convention

Hi all,

 

I am new on this mailing list and I hope my question is not so obvious

 

My problem is with:

At the adress : http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/requirements-and-recommendations/1.5/ I find

? 2.1 Filename

Requirements:

* Filename must have ".nc" suffix."

But If I read the CF documentation http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.5/cf-conventions-multi.html I find


"2.1. Filename


NetCDF files should have the file name extension ".nc". "

For me there is a difference between "must" and "should"?.

If i have another suffix than nc, can i be CF compliant?

Best regards
