Since encountering files with variable names that started with digits (like e.g. '123this'),
I looked up the essential rules in NUG and CF + found they are very lax.
However, since UGRIS and CF both use space-separated losts of names, we clearly can't allow spaces in names.
See : cf-convention/cf-conventions#237

So, I have replaced ref to 'valid netcdf variable names' with 'valid variable names'.
Which is a bit vague, but I also put a footnote in the conformance rules about it.
