I think this is *exactly* the point of it. But, and I
think this is the best part (at least as it was described
to me a couple of days ago), the data user doesn't have to
download the entire netCDF file. They can actually go into
a file and get just that portion of the file they are
particularly interested in. For example, you could get
just a particular time slice in an image cube.

Cheers,

David
