[CF-metadata] use of CF to describe unstructured grid models

Hi Sean,

The current version of the CF standard does not include a full set of
meta-data standards for describing an unstructured grid model.
For this reason a couple of years ago a Google UGRID group was started
that includes developers of numerous unstructured grid models.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/ugrid-interoperability
The specification that comes out of that group has been documented on
our wiki site accessible via
http://bit.ly/ugrid_cf
We have discussed the path towards CF integration and gridspec
compatibility in a small group earlier this year.
This may be a good time to open up the discussion towards the wider
community.

Best regards,

Bert Jagers
