Dear Randy

There is no limit on the use of auxiliary coordinate variables for a given
data variable, so that is fine. However, if they are going to be useful they
will have to be distinguishable in some way. Could you describe this more
specifically? i.e. what are these two sets of coordinates?

Best wishes
