Surely we haven't done it in the last 20 years partly because we 
were unable to do this kind of thing with global attributes and 
have them be global in the way we were formulating them?  I'm not 
saying it is a good idea...just that not having done it before 
isn't a reason not to do it now.

But since Martin asks for a vote (and we should do more things by 
email where we make decisions and vote) then here is a poll to 
vote on:

Five possible choices.

You have until Friday 5pm Pacific Standard Time to vote. 
Otherwise we will assume that you assent with the majority at 
that time.  I'll not vote unless a tie break is needed.
