If we have a shared dimension without coordinate values, how is that

we need shared dimensions: almost all higher level Conventions rely on
them. they dont always rely on them for just coordinate variables.
Generalizarions of coordinate variables also need shared dimensions, but
cannot use coordinate variables.
