[CF-metadata] how to specify time dimension for monthly averages

Um, I don't think that's true, actually. That's probably a sensible convention
to follow in many cases, but I don't believe it's a CF requirement. (Or at
least, I never noticed it. If it is in there, we need to edit the spec to make
it more prominent!)

Cheers,
