That's a bit clearer, thanks.  Maybe you want to change:
An absolute file URL with an absolute path (eg file:/usr/local/data/mine.nc). 

to show a Windows example:

An absolute file URL with an absolute path (eg file:c:/data/mine.nc).

just to drive the point home.


I'd also remove the line:

This makes NcML portable across platforms.

in the windows note.  Even on Windows, back slashes don't work, so
in reality, the sentence would be:

This makes NcML work.     ;-)

At the top, you also have:

C:/share/data/model.nc

perhaps you want to note the forwards slashes here as well, e.g.:

C:/share/data/model.nc   (note forward slashes must be used)
