Hi Bob,
Looks like a good start. I'm hoping that the HDF5 API & format will be
able to fully support the netCDF4 API without requiring additional metadata
that netCDF4 needs to manage it's files, but we'll have to see how that plays
out. Also, I think it would be nice if there was a way to avoid putting all
the netCDF data in a special group, but we'll have to see if that is possible
also.
