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

Dear John et al

> The actual CF convention says "should", im not sure why **http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/requirements-and-recommendations/1.5/
> says "must".

My reading is that "should" and "must" mean the same and that the convention,
as it stands, requires CF-netCDF files to have the .nc suffix. This statement
has been there since the dawn of time, but it could be proposed for deletion,
or for downgrading to a recommendation, at the next version of CF.

Cheers

Jonathan
