Far out, man!!  ;-)

Seriously, though, I don't see the need for such a device ("...make
the "band" coordinate variable an array of label strings...").  Based
on what Tom Rink and John Caron have said, it looks like defining a
"coordinate axis type" using a few select concepts is the best
approach.  We'll see what John as to say about the notion of a simple
index being used as a coordinate variable...and go from there...
