[CF-metadata] CF-1.0-beta5: curvilinear bounds "contiguous"attribute

Just to expand on the idea of transformations:

My working definition of  a "grid" is "an array such that values next to 
each other in index space are next to each other in coordinate space ". 
 (I think I also need the requirement that the number of dimensions 
equals the number of coordinate axes) An invertible, continuous 
transformation will preserve this "next to each other" property.  Im 
sure someone who remembers more toplogy than i do could say this more 
precisely.

In the NcML Coordinate System spec we are interested in Coordinate 
Transforms that have this property. If anyone envisions using CF for 
other kinds of coordinate systems, i would be interested in knowing 
about it.
