Dear Chris
I was hoping that someone else might respond to this, because there was a
discussion not so long ago on this email list about a similar issue.

You refer in your email to the discrete sampling geometries proposal and
I think that should be the way to do it, and I wonder if this is topologically
the same as one of the existing feature_types. The final agreed version of
that proposal, which will be in the next version of CF now being compiled,
is at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/caron/public/CFch9-feb25_jg.pdf
(see track ticket 37). Does it do what you need?
Cheers
Jonathan
