[CF-metadata] Coordinate reference frame for discrete sampling geometries

Dear Upendra

I believe so. It is not mentioned because it's a different issue. The discrete
sampling geometries can equally well have coordinates specified on projection
planes or which otherwise depend on the grid_mapping for definition.

Best wishes
