The following is being proposed to add to CF principles, and comments
from all would be welcome:
"CF may incorporate an outside convention into it when the following
conditions hold:
1. The semantics of the convention are important to the CF community.
2. The convention is already in wide use by other communities, and the
adoption by CF significantly helps other communities adopt CF.
3. The convention is not in conflict with existing CF standards.
4. In the case that the new convention overlaps existing CF
conventions, software should be developed to detect inconsistencies
and provide feedback to the data producer.
"
The current context is the proposal "Specification of Coordinate
Reference System properties in Well-Known Text format" :

however, the intention is for this principle to guide future CF
proposals also.
