hi bob:

attribute names can have embedded spaces. OTOH, theres no good reason
why those 2 do. Is it a problem?

I don't think attribute names can have embedded spaces. I didn't find it earlier, but I did just now: http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.6/cf-conventions.html#idp4775248
says
"Variable, dimension and attribute names should begin with a letter and be composed of letters, digits, and underscores."

good point. netcdf allows them, but not CF. ill change them to underscores.
