[netCDF #UWJ-917865]: NetCDF File Naming Convention

Hi Nathan,

This is news to me; granted, I've only been part of the netCDF team for the 
last 5 years, but if this was an issue at some point, it does not appear to be 
an issue now (as far as I can determine).  Can you provide any reference to 
this convention/restriction?  If so, I will see if I can dig deeper into it. 
Otherwise, you should be able to proceed without issue.

Thanks!
