One observation here:
We've seen multiple examples of storing a quality flag variable ONCE in a
netCDF file while remaining CF compliant. If the quality flagging is relevant
to multiple variables within the netCDF file, why not use a "comment:"
attribute in the quality variable to describe exactly which variables the
quality flagging is relevant for ?
