or commas? aren't commas better?
But anyway, we had this discussion in the UGRID group -- and I *think* we
decided that while UGRID is designed to be used in conjunction with CF, and
therefore 'additional conventions for a specific subset of [CF} data', it
could, in fact be useful outsid eof CF -- so it really makes more sense to
think of it as an additional convention -- and I can't see what lose by
specifying it this way -- in both cases, you mean:
This file conforms both to CF and UGRID.
