Here is our latest dimension scales proposal, which I mentioned in Friday's 
meeting
Paper: http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/H5DimScales/H5dimscale_prop_No3.v3.pdf
Slides: http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/H5DimScales/HDF5_dimscale_prop_3.pdf
I've hesitated to share these because they contains a lot of background 
verbiage that is probably not of interest to most of you.  To avoid this:
 - start with section 2 ("Proposal") in the paper
 - start with slide #13 in the slides.
If you wish the original MS Word and power point versions of these, just 
let me know.
Mike
