[CF-metadata] GIS versus CF conventions

I don't think so. It means that plotting/processing applications which can
interpret auxiliary coordinates will be able to use the data. I am sure that
there will be far less software having the capability to interpret map
projections and other grid descriptions (yet to be defined). To make the
metadata as useful as possible, it has to be given in simple terms.
